Multiple Viewpoints on Physician Home Visits
Accessibility Risk of infection In patients’ viewpoint, physician home visits seem simply beneficial.
Multiple viewpoints on physician home visits
BS Chung (anatomy.co.kr)
However,
in physicians’ viewpoint, physician home visits are medically dangerous.
Considering only patients’ viewpoint will result in half-baked physician home visits.
Half-baked one is harmful to patients eventually.
We should consider all of the viewpoints.
In government’s viewpoint, physician home visits are financially dangerous.
Without full equipment and personnel, there is more risk of accidents.
Some patients can’t pay.
And the budget and manpower are limited.
It is like food delivery!
I am willing to pay!
