Hawaiian patients with a sore throat, high fever or mystery rash will now be able to bypass the waiting room and find a physician's care just a click away. Doctors plan to start making online house calls in the nation's first large-scale program of its kind that some believe could be a groundbreaking step in health care.
Computers equipped with a Web camera are used to set up live, face-to-face consultations where patients describe their symptoms and even show anything from a rash to a wound. They could get questions answered; get advice or prescriptions for anything but controlled substances.
Can I do the same with the dentist, please?
Have a nice weekend!
Blessings,
Tim
