@gingerw- I often think that a large majority of office visits are a waste of time and can be done over the phone. If something shows up on lab work that is not part of a life-threatening illness than I also think that this should be done over the phone. My first appointment with my new PCP has been moved.

@merpreb One of the things I was thinking about is exactly that. It may come to pass that the medical practices may move more towards telemedicine when possible, using telephone or video appts when applicable. Then my mind wanders to those in our population who see their appt as a solid connection with healthgivers, a person to speak to and touch them. It's a delicate balance.
