House Call Physician Las Vegas
Throughout history, house call physicians were the standard way for most people to receive medical care. From the time of medicine men and shamans, up till the 1950s, medical care was most often provided within the home. It wasn’t until recent decades that doctors became hidden away in offices that patients had to visit. One of the main reasons why the house call physician vanished in recent history is because of advancements in equipment. As diagnostic and treatment tools have developed, there is now a need for a central location where doctors can use these tools. Most of their equipment is large, bulky, and requires very specific conditions to work properly. This has cut back on the iconic image of a doctor with their special black bag visiting a patient’s home.
