Relevant and interesting

I am a veterinarian of over 40 years experience with small animals. After taking the seminar, I realize I have been doing telemedicine since day one, by communicating with clients over the phone, looking at pictures and videos as well. I do not agree that a person can practice better Medicine Via telemedicine than in person. Nothing takes the place of an in person, hands-on examination and communication with the client. Telemedicine can be valuable to initiate treatment or follow up on treatment with a pet that you have an active client patient relationship with. However, I think significant caution needs to be exercised with certain problems because nothing beats a thorough exam with palpation and auscultation . it definitely has its place with more minor problems, such as skin and ear issues however, evaluating lymph nodes and psychology of the ears cannot be performed. It definitely has its place as an adjunct to a full examination in person A licensed veterinarian and a technician. Also, as a final point, I cannot tell you how many times I have examined a pet for a relatively minor health concern, and found an arrhythmia, Anemia or an abdominal mass and abdominal infusion during the exam with no presenting symptoms related to those findings. I am concerned that we may miss many problems and pets if telemedicine is the only thing that is done.
