From food, groceries, gadgets, furniture, clothes, books to even movie tickets, we can easily order services online without having to move out of our comfort zone. But strangely when we are sick, we still need to step out and wait for the longest time at a doctors clinic. Do we really need to aggravate our existing pain to get cured?
