Our lives have definitely changed during this pandemic. In some respects, we are lucky that technology was ready to help us manage our lives while avoiding human contact as best we could. We can order groceries online, we can order meals online, we can stream movies and old TV sitcoms, we can have Zoom happy hours with long time friends, we can play Bridge online, and we can even visit with our doctors using software and mobile devices. This is called telehealth or telemedicine and it has been around for years. What are the advantages and disadvantages? Does it work for PD patients? What do you need to know to prep for a visit? Does your insurance pay for it? Our guest today is a MDS who has been using this technology for many years. She will share her experiences with this ever more important technology. Please stay tuned.
