Why We Often Skip Medical Appointments and Treatments

Given the cost, commute, time spent and discomfort of a doctor’s visit, some of us get tempted to skip medical appointments, whether for chronic disease management follow-ups or preventive health screening.

For seniors and those with mobility constraints, travelling to and fro hospitals or clinics and home can be difficult. Long wait times often make a simple follow-up consultation last an entire day.

In many cases, a family caregiver is the one who accompanies the care recipient to the hospital or clinic. However, they may not always be available, due to time constraints or strained family relationships.

For seniors whose primary caregiver are their spouses, additional care support may be required due to their own health conditions and physical constraints, especially if the care recipient needs to be manually transferred from their bed to a wheelchair and then to the vehicle.

Missing Medical Appointments and Treatments Can Cause Health Complications

However, not going for follow-up consultations, medical appointments, treatment and health screening can lead to further health complications. Sometimes, patients who skip these appointments may even end up back in the hospital with more serious and costly health concerns.

Patient transport officers will also provide advice to reduce mishaps such as patients who accidentally discard the medication or mix up the dosages.
