    In person visits have their place and always will. But there are certainly times when a televisit suffices.

    For me it’s been useful not having to go to Duke every three months. I could see doing every other visit in person once Covid is over, as long as I’m doing well.

    @jon-nyc you're right.

    For cases like D2, the televisit-only approach could have been lethal. OTOH, I could see a hybrid type of patient care. Come in once a year for the actual physical, and let the others be via Zoom or whatever if there's not a change in status. Mrs. George, as I said, has a monthly televisit with one of her docs. He's never examined her (pain clinic) and there's no reason to start now. It works great. My internist, whom I see semi-annually does the most perfunctory physical exam (he was much more thorough when we were interns together, LOL), and I'd be just as happy with telemedicine for him.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I never thought of telehealth as replacement but as another avenue.

        One of the things LSU tried a few years ago and something I wish had succeeded more, was a hybrid situation where the patient was followed traditionally by a family practice doc, but would do telemed visits with a specialist.

          Like online school, it is informative to go back over one's own experiences with the in-person version and reflect on whether it could have been done online instead. And for those parts that couldn't have been done online, how important were they.

          Education is extremely important.

            I think pretty important. I give this a lot of thought what with the boy and all. I can replicate his academic school day easily and in comparatively little time. The social aspect I can’t replicate at all.

            He’s very much an autodidact. Frankly social learning will likely be his main takeaway from his entire K-12 experience. And the credentials of course.

              People with privilege can replace academic learning. Lots of luck to the vulnerable, the gap widens.

                Oh yeah, we’ve done a great deal of that in the last few months. I’ve basically got him ready for 8th grade algebra (he’s entering 6th grade now), he knows more history than 85% of adults, codes in Python, and is reading YA novels daily with his mother and writing answers to essay questions she writes for him.

                And we have kept it up all summer.

                  That's excellent, Jon. He'll be ready for AP courses any time now.

                    What's he like to do with it?

                      We’ve been following the Codecademy class and I give him assignments.
