Any disadvantages of telemedicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some: Disadvantages are of course that you are not there and therefore cannot palpate the patient, interact, smell, feel the pulse, etc. However, for the most part, ability to help the people who are miles away and without direct doctor care far outweigh that.
