Conclusion

While traditional healthcare has been the standard for centuries and is essential for in-person examinations, surgeries, and certain diagnostic procedures, it does have drawbacks compared to telemedicine. Telemedicine, by contrast, excels in offering accessibility, convenience, cost savings, and flexibility, making it an attractive complement or alternative for many routine healthcare needs. However, it also has its own limitations, such as the need for internet access and the inability to perform physical exams, which means the two models may best work in tandem rather than as replacements for each other.
