House Call Medicine Helps Patients Receive Treatment While Avoiding the Hassles and Potential Risks of an Urgent Care Facility

LOS ANGELES, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- When someone gets sick, their first course of action is usually to head to a primary care physician or an urgent care facility to receive treatment. After all, the vast majority of the healthcare provided by doctors and medical professionals comes from facilities such as these. The system works, but it's not ideal in every circumstance. Though it may seem counter intuitive, hospitals and clinics are actually locations where occupants have higher chances of contracting illnesses. Also, simply traveling to a facility can be challenging or even dangerous for someone who is sick. As an alternative solution, house call medicine, provided by highly trained and experienced physicians like Dr. Farzam, allows patients to receive the medical attention they need free from hassle and without the risks.  

According to the CDC, there are roughly 1.7 million hospital-associated infections, ranging from bacteria and micro-organisms like viruses that result in illness. Many of these expose patients to infections that they would not have encountered otherwise during their daily routines. Shockingly, the CDC estimates that these infections are responsible for over 99,000 deaths a year. Though relatively healthy patients are not likely to be killed by an illness contracted at a medical center, the fact remains that hospital-acquired infections are a topic that is taken very seriously by medical professionals as it has a significant impact on patient wellness. Receiving medical care is important, but, unfortunately for some, a visit to a clinic or hospital can result in getting worse not better.

In addition to the inherent risk of exposure to illness, traveling to a medical center can also be a source of misfortune for sick patients. Having to travel and move around is often uncomfortable when feeling under the weather, as is having to sit in cold and uncomfortable waiting rooms. Sickness can also make driving difficult, and even dangerous for someone distracted by poor health. So, while urgent care within the Burbank area may be the default choice for residents living nearby, it might not be the best option for medical care.

Patients of the service don't have to deal with hour long waits, inflexible appointment times, travel, or the risk of hospital acquired infection.
