Consider This Approach During the Next Blizzard

An intriguing wrinkle in patient care was published in the New York Times, January 5, 2009. . Doctors Will Make Web Calls in Hawaii.
A web service that puts patients face-to-face with doctors online, will be introduced in Hawaii on Jan 15. The Hawaii Medical Service Association, (Blue Cross-Blue Shield licensee), will make the Internet version of the house call available to everyone in the state. The service is for people who seek easier access to physicians because they are uninsured or do not want to wait for an appointment or spend time driving to a clinic. Something to think about when you face an empty clinic or have to dug out your car during the next big snow storm this winter.
