Here is an Indian Homeopathy doctor who claims to be raking in $2 million from online clinics. Business Standard has a story on online clinics in which it features Dr Rajesh Shah, who owns sites like www.askdrshah.com, www.leucoderma.com, www.asthma.net.in, and 30 such websites. He set up his first website in 1995, and has come a long way ever since. He currently has 10 online doctors, and treats patients in 124 countries, says a BS report.
So how does Shah manage to treat patients without seeing them? Most of his patients are referrals, and they already have diagnostics done like blood reports, MRIs, and so on. Then he has a detailed questionnaire, which helps him understand the patient. Then he uses the usual tools like email, chat, phone, and video-conference. Medicines are sent through courier. Shah claims his business is growing at 25 per cent per annum.
