Personally.... When the day comes I have to "skype" with my doctor, then it's time for a new doctor. As a consumer I am becoming more and more acutely aware of the breaches that exist and NOT even through the fault of our providers either. For example, I already looked into "opting" out of electronic health records. Did you know patients will be able to "opt out". I'm doing it. There is NO way the govt is going to control my medical records. If you have to Skype with patient's there's a problem! Even telephone consults are crazy IMHO, unless there is an absolute urgent need for it and it cannot be done in the office for something in particular. Even my own doctor has said that when he has to compete with a computer, he's retiring. I don't blame him. I don't for one second trust much of this technology, call me a pessimist I guess. I do know that I've already had 2 near MAJOR malfunctions with my medical records..2 instances with my daughter and one with mine.
Ok, totally different subject rant.. LOL
