Friday Night Wine-Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

We're all doing what we can to get through this.

I'm feeling much better, and hope to be able to go back to work on Monday. My assistant is working another clinic right now, and she tells me they're mostly doing telemedicine; this is good. It means people are self-isolating.

3. Is telemedicine done with run-of-the-mill teleconferencing software or specialized medical versions?

4. We just switched over to a new medical software system.

There's nothing about it that is especially well-suited to telemedicine. A patient calls, and I have their chart as a reference. I only did a couple of calls, basically to answer patients' questions about COVID-19, before getting sick and having to come home.

It's the bronchitis my wife has had for the last month; I tested negative for COVID.

7. Does telemedicine carry its own unique set of liability concerns...

considering you can't see or lay hands on the patient?


Good to hear from you as always, Aristus....
