Writing early again today, as I had a doctor’s appointment over videoconference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Telehealth stuff is really a game-changer. The particular doctor I saw this morning can get the clinical data he needs from a sensor, and I don’t have to actually go in to an office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if I lived close to his office, that’d be something like two hours of missed work time. Given than his office is probably a good 30 minutes away, now, I’d be looking at an extra two hours for travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m wondering, too, what it’s going to do to doctors’ office space requirements. How much is a practice paying just for office waiting areas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, because I’m in my appointment window, I can write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you could have any career, what would it be? (Assume anything you choose, you are the best in the field)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think I’d want to write. I can’t see very well. I can’t be on my feet very long. I can’t speak that well anymore. I can still write, sorta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve been trying to decide how I could do something. Everybody and his brother has a podcast now. I have a blog. Yes, like all of them, it sucks. Could I do something where I take the one biggest story I see for the day, and offer a bit of my take on it? Would anyone care? Probably not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
