Medical City Healthcare | Take Care | Fall 2018

Christy Chisholm knew she had a sinus infection and was miserable. However, it was the height of flu sea- son and her doctor couldn’t squeeze her in for an appointment. Not that she wanted to sit in a room full of sick people anyway. Then there were her kids. All 202 of them. “I’m an eighth-grade science teacher in the Fort Worth area,” said Christy. “During the school year, I had 200 kids, plus my own two active teenagers. I was busy and stressed, and it was going to be so difficult to break away. And then my doctor couldn’t get me in—even though I was sick!” So Christy logged on to Medical Care on the go City Virtual Care from her home com- puter, answered a few questions about her symptoms and waited to see what would happen. “It was fabulous,” said Christy. “There were so many options. You could talk to a doctor or type in your symptoms. The questions were exactly the ones my doctor would have asked. One was ‘Are your lymph nodes swol- len?’ and there was an animation showing how to check. It was so fast and easy. The final screen said a doc- tor would review my case and get back to me.” Medical City Virtual Care provides diagnosis, treatment and prescriptions for a wide variety of non-emergency medical conditions. This convenient online clinic allows you and your fam- ily members to be seen and treated by a trusted healthcare provider from any mobile device or desktop com- puter, 24/7. “I got an immediate response with notes from a physician,” Christy said. “There were suggestions for at-home care and over-the-counter medications, plus a prescription had been sent to my pharmacy. Even though it was on the computer, it felt very personalized. I’ve used it twice now, and I will definitely use it again!” Virtual care I got an immediate response with notes from a physician. — Christy Chisholm MedicalCityVirtualCare.com 15 MedicalCityHealthcare.com
