And dont take a moral high ground here about Doctors not going in to serve in the rural areas. There is frankly nothing there to recommend. Doctors have been campaigning to get the infrastructuire right. We cant help it when there isnt anything there.

A fresh MBBS passout is paid less than a class 4 employee.

You need to be a doctor to realise that physical contact with the patient in VERY important to elicit signs of the disease. Tele medicine cannot overcome this problem.

I used to have a close friend who, after getting a medical degree MBBS from one of the best schools in India, decided to go to the US to study “preventive and social medicine”.
When asked why not practice the same directly in rural India and learn things hands-on, the answer was “You get paid so much more for working in healthcare over there”.
Do you think people like them will stay back if we give them the ability to access all that information here?

By the way I also know a doctor (yes a qualified MBBS) who works in a call centre as the pay is more, and if you ask me, I think broadband and cheaper bandwidth rates is helping the person, though not as “Telemedicine”.

I am too young to answer these questions, and I think yes the initiative should be taken to help doctors get the information they need, but ….oh well.
