During the COVID-19 pandemic, consulting with a doctor by videoconference or phone proved to be a convenient way to access care. Many provinces in Canada have turned to virtual care to lift pressure from their strained health-care systems.

You cannot have proper medical care over a zoom call.

Virtual care, pharmacists, RNs, paramedicals ➡️manage routine & non-complex issues. Broad spectrum antibiotics/antivirals avail to all 'Doctors' ➡️ complex health issues. Leverage Tech/AI + better documentation, diagnostics & testing Educate public 👇

Is MAID available online? Or do Canadians have to show up in person to be euthanized.

Virtual care equals zero actual care! The great abandonment of responsibility from MD’s.

My concern would be privacy That video goes through servers and is stored somewhere. Not for us but then we’ve walked away from medical services except for something we can’t handle or trauma. NoTrust

Of course virtual care is not a panacea! But it is a useful tool. It should be offered (and funded) as a public service and not as a privately hosted hoover app. It should be linked to a government run national health data system to eliminate silos.

fordnation Ford and Jones are completely out of touch with todays Ontario. we don’t have enough family doctors in the province & many go without. Why should virtual care be worth less than in person visits, one is still seeing the doctor for their expertise.

But a lot of time you have to go to clinic anyways as they can’t get a good diagnose. So kinda unnecessary billing

cbc never stops with the propaganda.

Virtual care is the way of the future, especially with fewer healthcare professionals and an aging population. Renewing a prescription or asking for a referral to a medical specialist takes only five minutes by virtual care. In the past you had to book a 30-minute appointment.

Well, Ontario is special. We went against this trend because ... it actually worked. Don't worry, the private doctors will fill this gap soon enough at a good profit margin. Thanks fordnation for screwing up the obvious.

Unable to get antibiotic treatment from MDs here who ignored stage 2 disseminated Lyme symptoms 10 days after the bulls' eye rash. Dismissed as TIA as patient was 78 with stroke history. Able to get antibiotics via teleconsult with an American MD. Full recovery began in 8 hours.

A decade ago no physician worth his/her salt would think it a good idea to 'examine' a patient on the phone, but today, doctors are mostly just drug pushers, and tomorrow they'll happily kill you by offering MAID. ClownMedia

Naw, first things first - Nuremberg every last one of you involved in the Covid con and death shot delivery, scrap the entire system and rebuild from there.

Easier but less accurate.

Virtual care can be a good addition to in person care. In our billing model however it can result in abused by both physician and patient resulting in uncontrollable health care expenses. Limitations are needed.

It’s Christmas Day, give it break

I've had 2 virtual visits with my doctor since the pandemic started, and both visits resulted in prescription medications that resolved each issue. All good.

Healthcare was already broken and now this. How convenient. A shittier alternative all by design to save on money and access to quality care. A patient cured is a patient lost

Not for many aspects of care.....

Adrian Dix makes money on Telus Health privatization. Merry Christmas

AI is the future. Bots that diagnose and suggest treatment will supplant doctors. The cost will drop to near zero for doctors and then money can be used for long term care robots.

CBC is trying to normalize the decline of Canadian health care while the Liberal Government sends our tax dollars over seas.

This is terrible. Lazy people should not be working.

Convenient way for doctors to make more money without putting much effort .thousands of patients died due to lack of early diagnosis and real checkups

Oh yeah that worked so well! Misdiagnosed people and other failures

State run media would have wished me a happy Ramadan or Hanukkah by now...

Except Ontario they took away the televisit

One day, there will be Dr. Google that many people will rely on. No need appointments for Dr. Google as it is open any time patient wants, cost nothing. Patient doesn’t need to travel to consult with Dr. Google

Virtual care should be outsourced at a much lower billing rate. As Canada doesn't have enough doctors, Canadian doctors should be required to only do in clinic work, or accept the much lower billing. Let us say 75% lower.
