Doctor visits being replaced with Skype in UK? | |
Spitting Into The Wind  User ID: 16376408  United States11/25/2012 08:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A friend of mine in Bakersfield, Calif., was shocked when he went in for a check up and morphine refill. He was told the Drs office had been moved to the building next door. After being led into the treatment room, he found himself alone with a screen. An unfamiliar Dr.came on the screen, asked him some questions, while (what he assumed was) writing on his chart. The doc told him to pick up his refill at the front desk, and that he'd see him again next month. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3041808 It's already here in the usa  That is creepy. |

I can see both good and bad aspects to it but can also see how it could be done that way. Doubt anyone would miss sitting in a waiting room with the assorted sick and diseased. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy |

Well there you go...
