Totally disagree, virtual appointments are a hinderance to smooth interaction and interferes with proper healthcare delivery.

Exactly the opposite of my experience as a patient. Neurologist outright called me a liar because she could not see well enough what was going on

As a long Covid patient telehealth has been vital to my healthcare. There are so many people who can’t do in person for many reasons.

As clinics have largely abandoned respirator masks, telemedicine is also a safer way to access care with picking up an airborne infection in the process.

In appropriate circumstances (physical measurements/tests not vital), they can actually be superior 2 in-person doctor visits. I keep medical records/test results on my computer, so it's easy to check (takes a few seconds) if the doctor asks a question & I can't remember/don't h/ immediate answer.

I have > 33 years of clinical care experience. I have my old records. My primary & I can knock out a physical very quickly. He runs the labs first. I zip in & out in 15 minutes. If I have a problem, I am seen in person. We check in via phone or email. I did inperson triage for >25 years.

I want to scare you a bit.
I re-posted a picture of myself & my ex husband from 2003. It appeared on my new Windows 11 computer. How did my computer get the picture? Artificial intelligence? The picture was on a Christmas card I sent out in 2004. I put it on Facebook eve beavers

My experience as a patient with an electrophysiologist has always been good. He seems comfortable with it as well. Great article. Thanks.

This article mirrors my experience, not as an Emergency physician but as a General Practitioner, a Primary Care specialist.
Much of what I do isn't "what's the diagnosis?" but "how can I help?".

Telehealth does facilitate this window into the context of my patient: the in-car seclusion from family, the cigarettes protruding from mouths, the children screaming/running in the background.
All valuable info, usually hidden from me in the clinic.

Not the same as F2F. Different.

For us telehealth allows our team to see us in our environment, they can see my kids play in the background while I talk to doctors, I am able to focus more not entertaining kids in an exam room, dr see my kids do daily skills not easily seen in an office. We are seen as people.
