My mother had a tele-doctor appointment today.

It was interminable, and she tried to lie about her smoking, but at least it wasn't bookended by a 90 minute commute and god-knows-how-long in the waiting room.

Thanks for the "Sheltering in Small Places" link. It focuses on Tokyo, but applies to my little studio apartment in NYC, which is now basically a home gym with a kitchen and bathroom.

I keep getting email inviting me to use a tele-doctor appointment for my upcoming needs. I want to shake somebody and say hello! I am now overdue for a mammogram! Can your tele-doctor do that for me? If not, please leave me alone and try not to delay my preventative care too long after we finally get out of this.

Sigh...
