WIBCI healthcare was LESS on us?
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If Medical Care wasn’t so REMOTE?
Below are a smattering of synonyms for the word REMOTE per Thesaurus.com:
- distant, far-flung, far-off, inaccessible, isolated, lonely, lonesome, obscure, secluded, and unknown…
hmm I concur these are feelings I associate with the Healthcare industry, but they aren’t….shall I say, inviting?
As I am a strong believer that meaning in words can be found in what the word is NOT, here are some of the antonyms listed:
- befriended, close, known, loved, sociable, approachable, convenient, friendly, gentle, likely, possible, relevant, and warm…..
Ahhhh, cozy no? So the second list of words are the opposite of what Remote Healthcare is designed to feel like. Hmmm, does marketing know this?
I saw a commercial where you can BYO medical instruments to your next gynecologist appointment if you want ‘the latest in comfort’. I also saw advertisements touting how you can inject your own medication, with syringes, in the comfort of your own home…..
To each his own, but I feel good with the uncomfortable reluctant feeling that bubbles up with the thought of buying my own medical instruments to appointments and giving myself shots, and I wish to continue leaving such matters to experts.
