Going to the doctor's office isn't the only way to get a check-up anymore. Almost 700,000 vets are using tele-health services at the Veterans Affairs Department. That's about 12 percent of the veteran population. Tele-health lets patients use video-conferencing to consult with specialists. Vets can even get medical examinations electronically. Home tele-health is an option too. Older vets can directly connect to a VA hospital from home phone lines. Veterans living in rural areas make up more than half of the tele-health visits. They don't always have easy access to VA healthcare.
This is NOT good news. Robo doc is not the same and should not be passed off on a real live person. I know of an instance when this was used recently and almost cause a friend to leave the whole system. Doctors with little time and even less empathy.
