Book Overview

A patient's and provider's guide to the telehealth revolution

​What if we could see a doctor faster, more efficiently, and at a lower cost? With the emergence of telemedicine, we now can. And this book is a primer on telemedicine for anyone who wants to take charge of their health and understand all their healthcare options.

A mix of patient stories, research, and viewpoints from practicing physicians, Skip the Waiting Room explores telemedicine from all angles. Among other topics, it explains:
