Used the online doctor service today...
I can't believe this level of non-burocratic, efficient, quick and friendly service actually exists in Germany 🤣
Needed a doctor's note to be excused from work, didn't have the energy to go wait in a doctor's office. Downloaded the telehealth app my health insurance recommended for booking an appointment with a doctor. Scanned my insurance card in the app, filled out a short questionnaire about my illness, requested an appointment asap. Then got confirmation that my appointment was booked for the next MINUTE. Stayed on my phone, clicked the "log into call" link, waited half a minute, doctor comes online and grants me the doctor's note within a literal minute. Apparently I don't even need to submit the form to my employer cos it's all done automatically.
WTF I'm bowled over that I didn't have to call a doctor's office for an appointment, I didn't have to wait, I didn't have useless paperwork to do, it was all seamless and fast. Granted my case was about as easy as it could get but still. I saved hours of time compared to normal.
I love it. One thing done RIGHT here.
Highly recommend to everyone - check with your health insurance if they are part of the program!
