Are you denying yourself medical care?

Fears of catching COVID-19 may be keeping some people from seeking medical treatment. But many doctor appointments, such as those for medication management, can be handled via telemedicine. Appointments that must be conducted in person—such as dental visits and cancer screenings—can in some cases be postponed, if a doctor says it’s okay; it depends on a person’s individual health. No one should avoid treatment for an urgent medical condition, such as a suspected heart attack or stroke.
