This is definitely a neat and unique service, however I can see some flaws that need to be addressed.
What happens in the case of a misdiagnosis? Not doubting your skills or anything, but over the internet not seeing a patient in person, confusion can happen.
Furthermore, there's no guarantee on the information being given, nor any proof of your qualification.
I'm sure that you're a talented doctor, however on the internet you need more than word of mouth. If there's any proof you can somehow provide that shows your skill and competence, that would help a lot. Good luck with your service!
Thank you for this kind critique.
I wish i had a space to display my academic qualifications, transcripts, awards, licences. Since one is to send the fee after they are helped, i guess they have the advantage to prove the competence.
I probably did not have enough space to include a disclaimer. This service is best for information purposes. It does not intend to replace the hospital completely, and does not handle emergencies.
One more secret. 70 percent of the diagnosis is gotten from talking to the patient (History taking) , 15 percent from physical examination and 15 percent from laboratory investigation. This is not to say misdiagnosis is impossible, but to give confidence that diagnosis is more likely.
The biggest problem people face is not the lack of the right diagnosis, but the lack of that expert analysis and opinion about their health.
Needlesss to say, Tele-Medicine as a whole has its Pros and Cons. I exploit the pros in this service and accept the cons with humility.
