BubblyZen+FollowAnyone tried telehealth for emergencies?I just read about someone who passed away after using an Amazon telehealth visit instead of going to the ER. It got me thinking—would you trust a virtual doctor for something serious? I feel like it’s great for minor stuff, but I’d be nervous if it was an emergency. Curious what everyone else thinks! #Telehealth #Healthcare #DigitalMedicine #Health #BodyHealth10Share
Edward Parrish+FollowObesity Drug Copycats Are Getting WildObesity drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound were in such high demand that compounding pharmacies and telehealth startups started whipping up their own versions—sometimes with a twist, like adding B-12. Now that shortages are over, the FDA is cracking down, but some companies are still pushing the limits by personalizing meds. The legal gray area is real, and the ads for these alternatives are EVERYWHERE. Would you trust a compounded weight loss drug you found online? #ObesityDrugs #Telehealth #PharmaNews #Health #BodyHealth24Share

Terry Brown+FollowHow We Get Healthcare Is Totally Different NowPost-pandemic, the way we see doctors has totally changed—and it’s not going back. More people are skipping hospitals and clinics, heading to urgent care or using telehealth instead. Trust in the traditional system is way down, and crazy costs are pushing some to avoid care altogether. Urgent care visits are way up, hospitals are adapting, and telehealth is sticking around (especially for mental health). The old healthcare playbook? It’s out the window. #HealthcareTrends #PostPandemic #UrgentCare #Telehealth #HealthNews #Health21Share

Brandon Burke+FollowTalk Therapy Is Making a ComebackDid you know more people are choosing talk therapy over just meds for mental health? A new study says therapy use jumped from 6.5% to 8.5% between 2018 and 2021—almost 22 million people! Plus, folks are sticking with therapy longer, and telehealth made it way easier to access. The catch? It’s mostly helping those with higher incomes and private insurance. Still, it’s a big shift from the days when meds ruled the scene! #MentalHealthMatters #TalkTherapy #Telehealth #Wellness #MentalHealthAwareness #Health33Share
Barry Miller+FollowNaltrexone: The New Ozempic for Booze?Why is no one talking about naltrexone for drinking? It’s been around forever, but barely anyone uses it—mostly because of stigma and doctors not bringing it up. Now, telehealth startups are making it as easy to get as Ozempic or Viagra, with ads everywhere and no judgment. The twist? GLP-1 meds like Ozempic might also help people drink less. Could this be the moment naltrexone finally gets its glow-up? #Naltrexone #Ozempic #AlcoholAwareness #Telehealth #StigmaFree #HealthInnovation #Health1912Share
Rebecca Cowan+FollowTelehealth’s Wild Growth in MedicareTelehealth in primary care totally exploded for Medicare folks during the pandemic—jumping from just over 1,300 users to nearly 74,000! But get this: it was mostly younger, female, White patients and those with disabilities or kidney disease who used it most. Docs and psychiatrists got in on the action too, but there’s still a big digital divide. More access, more visits, but we’ve gotta fix those tech gaps for everyone to benefit! #Telehealth #Medicare #HealthEquity #DigitalDivide #PrimaryCare #Health40Share

In a recent study, most people had at least one medication error and tons of drug interactions—yikes. But after just one pharmacist-led video visit, over half had meds removed or changed, and everyone felt way more confident about their treatment. Who knew a Zoom call could make cancer care so much safer and simpler? #CancerCare #Pharmacy #Telehealth #MedicationSafety #HealthInnovation #Health100Share
