If all I need is a prescription or want a quick diagnosis, I'd much rather use video chat to see a doctor than go to an urgent care clinic. Plus, it's typically cheaper!

Yes, as long as my insurance still applied.

In this communications age, with atmospheric pollution driven by constant useless travel back and worth, staying at home and using Telemedicine just makes sense.

Sam Ackerman

I would try it. But I bet their most common answer will be to come in and see a doctor.

Not only would this save me money, but being able to avoid the germ-filled waiting room would be a huge benefit.

Carol Fulkerson

I agree with the pro of avoiding the lobby that's a petri dish.

I'd much rather see a doctor in person. It feels more secure, more personal, and more private.

Many times we need hands on exam for diagnosis. Telemed might be fine for followup with Dr. with back and forth discussion about symptoms, meds, side effects since exam.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
