maria25+FollowPharmacies Are Ghosting Telemedicine PatientsNearly 1 in 3 people using telemedicine for opioid addiction can’t get their buprenorphine prescription filled at the pharmacy. The main issues? Pharmacies don’t have the meds, insurance headaches, and some pharmacists are skittish about telemedicine scripts. Even though buprenorphine is FDA-approved and can save lives, it’s still tough to access—especially in rural areas. Wild that in 2022, only a quarter of people with opioid use disorder got the meds they needed. This is a huge gap in care that needs fixing! #Health #BodyHealth #telemedicine2214Share

Some worry this shift could turn family physicians into case managers instead of trusted caregivers. Are we trading real connection for convenience? The debate is heating up as tech takes over more of our healthcare! #Telemedicine #Healthcare #FamilyMedicine #DigitalHealth #DoctorPatientRelationship #Health10Share
