Digital Doctors And Virtual Medicine (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Log on, the doctor is in. Online that is. Telemedicine is here, promising transformative ways to deliver fast., convenient, and high-quality healthcare. That’s the claim. What’s the reality? Is face-to-face via webcam enough? Is it a godsend in the middle of the night? When you can’t get to your doctor’s office and know you don’t need to go to the ER? This hour On Point, we look at the controversy and promise of telemedicine. -- Jane Clayson
