Telemedicine, also known as telehealth, is a fancy way of saying you can see a doctor without leaving your house. This includes talking to a doctor online, getting your vital signs checked remotely, and even getting prescriptions sent to your pharmacy—all through the magic of technology. One of the best things about online doctor visits is how easy they are to access. You don't have to wait weeks for an appointment or sit in a crowded waiting room. Instead, you can just hop online from your couch and talk to a real doctor in real-time.
