I am so excited that Robert Steele has created this new virtual healthcare product called MPB.Health. I truly believe that because of COVID-19 and other factors, many US citizens will start consuming healthcare in a much different way.
A short story ... I recently had a colonoscopy! Yeah, it is okay for you to laugh! As usual, I scheduled a followup visit to discuss the results of the procedure. Then, I thought, I am considered “high risk” for COVID-19, so, I called the physician’s office that performed the procedure and asked if the doctor could contact me by phone or some other way to deliver the results. I was pleasantly surprised when they said, sure, the doctor can do that. WOW! The process was straightforward and efficient. My doctor and I had a very productive visit, the results were positive, and I never left my house. How cool is that!
The truth of the matter is that Virtual Healthcare is here to stay! And as people use it more and more, they will realize even more benefits, because they will identify more applications of the technology.
You know, everyone is being inconvenienced by COVID-19, but the silver lining is that we now have time to reflect on our lives, our relationships, and our businesses. This reflection may allow us to identify areas in our lives that need attention, that we had not thought about before, because we were too busy working. We have a tremendous opportunity to make some very positive adjustments to the way we live and work. I want to encourage you to not miss this opportunity.
