Late last December, iCan Med Choice customer Melissa S. headed to Vegas to ring in the New Year with her boyfriend. A Florida native, it was Melissa's first trip to the desert, and just like any other Vegas newbie, she was eager to hit all the tables, shows and clubs that "Sin City" had to offer.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be a New Year Melissa would never forget because regretfully, she took ill; "I'm not sure if I picked something up on the plane ride there, or if it was the lack of humidity, but by day 2 of my trip I wound up coming down with a wicked sinus infection and it put the kibosh on my plans."
"My head was pounding, my nose was stuffed up and I was completely lethargic," says Melissa. "I felt like a zombie and knew I didn't want to celebrate the arrival of 2014 that way. But, since I've had sinus infections before, I didn't panic. Instead, I whipped out my Med Choice membership card and scheduled a call with a Nevada-based Interactive MD doctor."
Within 30 minutes of her hanging up with Dr. Green, Melissa had a Z-pack prescription waiting for her at the Walgreens near Planet Hollywood on the Strip...
"Seriously, I couldn't have gotten that level of service or convenience anywhere else, including a Med Clinic," exclaims Melissa! "That amenity alone is worth my Med Choice membership, because when iCan tells you that a doctor is just a call or click away, they aren't kidding!"
Like Melissa, you can speak with a doctor while you're traveling. You can also contact one from work and/or the comfort of your own home or sick bed. Many common conditions are handled via Interactive MD (excluding emergencies), and there are many reasons why people utilize the service which include, but are not limited to:
- Mobility issues
- Too sick to drive
- Can't find a babysitter
- Dislike of waiting rooms
- After hours & weekend
- Can't miss work
