When Girl Meets 30

When You Need to FindHelp with Common Medical Issues

November 14, 2022 By Erin Kennedy Leave a Comment

Winter is fast approaching. And when it’s cold, you sometimes aren’t willing or able to venture outside. So, you might suffer. So here’s how to find help with common medical issues.

Google for Local Services
People think that if you need medical help, you shouldn’t really use Google. The main reason is that you tend to blame your condition for your worst symptoms. Google, on the other hand, can help you find real medical help. For example, for hearing aid troubleshooting, you may need to see an audiologist in your area for help. Or, you can look for a dentist near you who is accepting new patients. Local SEO lets practices list their clinics so that clients can rate and review them.

Book an Online Consultation
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people used telemedicine and phone calls from far away a lot more. Because remote consultations are helpful, most practices now offer them as part of their service. You can get help and advice from dentists, doctors, and fitness instructors without having to leave your house in the cold weather. Which is very important if you’re sick or can’t go. But you will need a webcam, a microphone, and a way to connect to the internet.

Call National Lines for Help with Common Medical Issues
Most countries have emergency services as well as national helplines. They are also very helpful. For example, the UK’s 111 service gets about 20,000 calls a day that aren’t for emergency help. Instead, trained nurses and doctors answer the phone and give advice on common medical issues like how to treat an illness, how much medicine to take, and how to ease pain. You can also call to find a doctor, make an appointment for a COVID shot.

See Online Medical Directories
It can be risky to look for “medical” advice on the internet, especially from social media, public message boards, and support groups. But there are helpful sites like WebMD in the United States and NHS advice in the United Kingdom. These are written from a medical point of view only, and they only give solid facts and real medical advice. Even if you don’t talk to a doctor, you can learn a lot about a medical issue by reading the facts on these pages.

Speak with a Medical Professional
Of course, if you think you need to, it’s always best to talk to a doctor. No phone call will ever make a doctor upset. And almost all doctors and nurses would rather you end a call being okay, than not call at all and let you suffer. If you have a doctor, dentist, or audiologist you can call for help, they will always give you advice. But it’s possible that they won’t call you back until the end of the day when they have finished with their duties and patients for the day.

Finding help with common medical issues is easier than ever these days. You can use Google to find local services, call national helplines, and speak over the phone with professionals.
