Mikey Sklar & Wendy Tremayne
Treating Health Care Like a Hackerspace
While watching Wendy interact with her Dr. friend over e-mail it made me ponder the idea of open health care. Is there a model in the world where you can consult with a Dr. of your choice on-line (e-mail / skype / etc) then go to a physical place for blood, x-ray or MRI scans? I know that decentralized blood labs are located all over. Why not decentralized medical equipment. Wouldn't it make sense to briefly communicate with a MD who is the top of their specific field? I'm sure the doc would appreciate just having images, video and data mailed to the and not need to deal with all the patient formalities.
