Telemedicine
 

I have a medical condition that I have to treat that doesnt really require me to meet in person, I had a telemedicine doctor that I liked, however, because I'm out of the state regularly for work, I'm not able to reliably see him. I cant find an available in-person specialist within reasonable driving distance and I would have a hard time scheduling them even if I did. Telemedicine worked very well for me and many other people, it shouldnt be impeded the way it is.
