I'll bet a lot of money and time would be saved if more Doctors would simply do what he's doing and cut out all the delaying middle people.<br /><br />Hot weather is on the way, Rod. It's going to be in the mid-70's here today and up to the 80's on Thursday - there's hope on the horizon.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-76929650950579477822013-02-12T07:20:37.484-06:002013-02-12T07:20:37.484-06:00That's a rather cool use of technology.

It's "mild" here, which means it's around the freezing mark, but it's what we expect.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-72320351955761639562013-02-12T03:24:15.771-06:002013-02-12T03:24:15.771-06:00Rod, interesting about the younger Doctors use of ...Rod, interesting about the younger Doctors use of technology. I had a carotid stent placed 2 years ago and while in the recovery room my Doctor showed us the film of the catheterization on his i phone and explained what was done the whole way through. Recently, over a weekend, I experienced worsening heart failure. I sent an email and my cardiologist who quickly responded - first to change a medication dosage and then to get updates on my progress every couple of hours. She sent messages until she was satisfied that things were stable. I appreciated her keeping me on her radar instead of handing me off to the Doctor on call in the practice that weekend.
