This should be a great help to people who come here whining about how they can't understand things and expect C-D posters to give them psychiatric assistance or pat them on the head and say "oh that's ok poor baby"

Fishkind is part of a fast growing movement in the mental healthcare field where therapists counsel patients via inexpensive, Web-based video conferencing technology.
Dunno but every time I see someone opening a thread whining about either how dumb they are or how they "just don't get it" and blame everything and everyone else for their lifestyle I'm going to point them to one of these telepsychiatry outfits.
Would be a lot more helpful then people here patting them on their heads telling them to buck up things will get better...
What is interesting, is how the entire medical model of traditional medicine is going "tele-health", have a skin lesion? Have a "tele-health" appointment with a dermatologist, who will examine the lesion via web cam, and provide a consultation without an office visit.

This can't happen fast enough for me. My elderly mother has on average two doctor appointments per week. She has 11 different doctors (since the hand doctor can't take care of her wrist and the foot doctor won't touch any other part of her body, and the cardiologist doesn't do any of his own tests, etc., etc.) I feel like I spend my life sitting in uncomfortable seats in crowded waiting rooms being forced to endure FOX News on a blaring TV set. It's often an hour wait for a 15-minute appointment.
Just think of it this way Jukes, you won't have to wait in a room filled with sick people or sit around reading a three year old Time magazine with obama on the cover proclaiming hope, change and transparency of his government...
