AMWELL Review

As a mom of a little boy who seems to have no fear I am always afraid Charlie is going to need a doctor and I will not have a way to get him to one. Especially if something happens in the evening as David works nights and we only have one car. Now I know I can hear you say call a ambulance but with no insurance it would cost us more than we have. Plus I am always afraid he would not be bad enough to call the ambulance and so I would waste there time. 

But since I found out about Amwell I do not have to worry about this as I can call Amwell  24/7 and someone will answer and help me decide what I need to do. Which is great because as a parent knowing you can reach a doctor 24/7 allows us a piece of mind. 

Plus as we are out about this Summer visiting water parks and things if one of us needs a doctor I can grab my IPhone or iPad and with just one phone call have a doctor answer questions for me. As kids can get hurt so fast. But not only kids adults as well. Especially with all the bugs out and about. 

As I looked through the list to see some of the things they can help with I was amazed to see weight loss on there as I have been struggling to lose weight. Which is not happening. So I have a couple questions I would like to ask them and see if they can tell me why no matter what why I do I do not seem to lose any weight.. Which is frustrating me to no end. Which leads to depression which Amwell  can also help out with. 

All you need to do is chose the  type of visit you are looking for and select a provider.  Depending on the issue at hand, the doctor can diagnose, suggest follow up, and prescribe, when appropriate.  Amwell takes our  privacy very seriously. Your visit with the doctor is secure and HIPAA compliant.  Amwell doctor visits are now available in 46 states.

As I checked out the site I saw they take Insurance and that they cost less than most doctors which is a huge plus for my family. As a lot of the time even though we need to go to the doctor we chose not to as we can not afford the amount they charge to see the doctor. 

Another reason I liked Amwell is because my dad comes here a lot of times and stays with us. But with his health not being as good as it should be this will be awesome to use as I will be able to find a Doctor for him. Which in the past we had trouble finding as no one wanted to see him as we live in Texas and he is from Oklahoma. Plus if he does not feel like going into the doctor he will be able to talk to them on the phone and they will be able to help him out.

What do you do when you have a friend you know who may be dying??

I have a friend Laurie who lives in my apartment complex. She has several health issues including a sleeping disorder. She does not have insurance and can not qualify for medicaid. Which upsets me. The medicines that she has to take are being discounted and we have searched every where for them. The only alternative she has is to take Ritalin and if you have heard of it then you may know about all the side effects that goes with it. If not, there is a lot as my daughter took it for a while and it is horrible. You do not grow and you bruise so easily. I am so afraid that this is going to do so much more harm than good. So we have spent a lot of time looking for the first medicine she was taking and we can not find it anywhere. I am to the point that I just do not know what to do to help her. If she has to go on Ritalin. It is so expensive that I went on line today to look for some pharmacies out of the country like in Canada to see if Canada drugs might be less expensive.Or that they might have some alternatives and I did not find any. So if things do not change by the end of Dec. and we get her the meds she needs her body will start to shut down and she will die. How am I supposed to just stand by and let this happen? What would you do? Tomorrow I am going to contact a pharmacy I saw online which is a Canadian Pharmacy and I sure hope they will be able to help us out. As I saw quite a few things I like on there site including that they have a low price guarantee. So tonight I am going to email my friend the site which is for the Canada Pharmacy and I hope that she finds the meds on there or at least one similar and that she can afford it. Because at this time with my husbands job up in the air I just do not have the funds to help her. If you all would Pray for Laurie and her husband Chris and the meds she needs I would really appreciate it.
