3 thoughts on “Pandemic propels telemedicine’s growth into overdrive

  1. >>> spurred by the growing use of Zoom <<<
    .
    And all of my doctors have been confused by my lack of interest in a video call via Zoom until I explain to them Zoom has been hacked to the point of anyone who has a modicum of technical understanding knows better. Even the New York State Education people put a ban on the use of Zoom for classroom use. They're spending truckloads of money on personnel to try to fix it (instead of doing it right the first time), have ties to China, and the free calls aren't encrypted. You're just as well off to go create a Gmail account and use the built-in video service.

    1. Your lack of knowledge with technology is apparent. Everyone thinks everyone is out to get them as soon as they hear about a hack. Your data gets sold and hacked daily no matter what you think is safe. Bravo to the heath care system for finding a fast solution to meet the needs of patients.

  2. I’m all for the teledoc system and have used for a couple of years now. I do not care for the “Virtual” fee that our pediatrician has charged, outside of insurance. Hello, it should cost less, not more.
