There is only one thing you need to know about telemedicine: location doesn't matter.
The pathologist who examines your blood tests, the radiologist who reads your MRI scan, the internist who orders your prescription or the nurse who reminds you to refill a prescription - none of these providers needs to be in the same room with you. Or in the same city. Or in the same state. Or even in the same country.
