We always had teledoc, but it's an imperfect technology, can the doctor examine you with a stethoscope, can he check your BP, can he check your throat or blood-oxygen levels? NO? All he can do is ask for your symptoms and suggest what is at best an imperfect diagnosis and medications.

The Teladoc program will actually upload some of your ios health data if you permit it (I might, but the privacy granularity is inadequate). So in theory the doctor could get my BP, HRT, BG etc...assuming I, the layperson, used the cuff properly.

Instead I just tell him/her the readings.
