A major TV show is looking to feature docs who use Skype in their practices. And maybe you can help.

Telemedicine isn't new. But the availability of Skype Video offers new opportunities to make house calls to far more people--in their homes, offices, Internet cafes.

I have heard of doctors diagnosing patients long distance over Skype, like the MD dad who scoped out a throat infection in his son who was in the UK and saying Ahh over Skype Video. Or the sex therapist who kept up with her patients, holding Skype Video sessions while she was in South America,

And psychiatrists who do talk therapy over Skype Video. This approach could help address the psychiatrist shortage.

If you're a doc with a Skype Video story, please share it in an e-mail. Send it to skype@kaplowpr.com.
