I was stunned by what I found.
I’ve been delivering care by phone for 30 years.
Before industrialized medicine, when one of my patients needed help after hours, they called me and I did my best.
What’s old is new again.
Except this time, it’s called “telemedicine”
And you’re going to have to pay money for it—and the doctor on the other end of the line won’t know you.
By 2023 one out of five outpatient encounters will be through some sort of telemedicine. And if you’re on Medicare, that number will be even higher.
Because of this, I went out and worked in telemedicine as it’s done today.
Two years, over twenty thousand encounters by phone or internet.
You read that right, twenty thousand—on top of the thirty years of covering my own patients.
What I learned left me stunned.
And I’m sharing everything so that you can get the most value out of your telemedicine visits while still keeping your family safe.
