Remote medicine needs to be practiced to be truly understood. Simply having medical knowledge does not qualify a provider or company to really understand what a remote provider is dealing with.
Some things that many remote companies do not take into account, but have been experienced first-hand by Vighter Medical Group’s staff are:
- Medical practice under fire
- Medical practice in hazardous environments
- Language barriers
- Limitations in equipment and medications
- Untrained assistants
- Patient transport issues due to weather or hostile environment causing delays
- Extended patient care with all the stressors above
