Opinion

... in response to Doctors online
  1. Russell Russell Australia says:

    What doctor in their right mind is going to treat over a Skype session?. If nothing else the quality of the patients cameras will differ wildly. And what happens when a script is required. Have to visit the GP anyway.

    A policy that wavers between useless and dangerous!

    • Col Col Australia says:

      e-health consultation, no matter what the quality of cameras used, is a lot better than no consultation at all. Rural areas need answers and this one is worth a try.

    • Tom Hennessy Tom Hennessy Canada says:

      If there is money to be made then doctors will do it. Doctors have been known to remove perfectly good limbs BECAUSE the person 'feels' it will make them more popular. Doctors use the excuse that it will prevent FUTURE 'mental health problems'. One might wonder HOW then did they 'miss' the mental health problem which CAUSED the person to WANT to remove a perfectly good limb.
