Virtual Visits To Doctors Spreading

tresho writes to tell us that virtual doctors visits seem to be on the rise. A new service, most recently deployed in Texas, from "NowClinic" is allowing doctors to make virtual house calls and prescribe anything short of controlled substances. "For $45, anyone in Texas can use NowClinic, whether or not they are insured, by visiting NowClinic.com. Doctors hold 10-minute appointments and can file prescriptions, except for controlled substances. Eventually they will be able to view patients’ medical histories if they are available. The introduction of NowClinic will be the first time that online care has been available nationwide, regardless of insurance coverage."

    "But why do momy and dady shut the door and then daddy jumps on mommy and does bad things to her because they both yell and bed make a lot of noise? I acidentaly saw it once and daddy told me to go away."

    Because they love each other, kiddo. You'll find that parents do a lot of weird things when they love each other, like when Mommy has uncle Arnie come over when Daddy's gone, or when Mommy takes money from Daddy's wallet and then tells him that she dosen't know what happened to it. It's like magic!

    "Why are baloons and milk spots in the back of dady's car and why does it smel like burned french fries and onions and dirty unnerwear and swimming pool water?"

    Because he loves mommy, kiddo. A lot of strange and wonderful things happen when Mommies and Daddies get married and have kids. It's because of you that these magical, wonderful things are happening. Now that's enough questions for today, go take your Lithium.

    A scheduled office visit with a Physician's Assistant at my local clinic costs $125 cash. And he's not even a doctor!
