I don't really like the telemedicine consultations. Throws another piece of asynchronous chaos into my day. I'm still seeing office patients, those who will come in. I'm used to the linear process of check in, room 'em, see 'em, check 'em out & chart...next.

But I also need to keep track of patients & bring in some income from those who won't come in. So i'm doing telemedicine, partially video but mixed with some followup texts and messages. But it's like having 5 or 6 exam rooms filled with patients who stick out their heads, say something and then nothing for 10 minutes. Now who was it that said to send their meds to what pharmacy? I pay staff for this stuff, but they are too busy teaching 80 year olds how to do a video consult on their iPhones.
