I wonder if this bans the re-emergence of the “house call” Doctor?

Imagine a mobile medical van with a doctor/staff that could handle all the little stuff, even minor surgeries. A doctor who doesn't need his patients to always go to a hospital, but a doctor who makes his rounds to their private homes.

I don't really know how it would actually really work, but if they are going to stifle hospital expansion what are the options? And honestly, if that's how this all goes down the last place on earth I want to go is to the hospital. They become dying centers instead of life saving centers.

So I am wondering what might a 21st Century “House Call Dr.” look like? What kind of patients would use him/her? How could technology facilitate the doctor patient relationship? What is the doctor hospital relationship look like?

They'll let you know if and when you can see a real doctor.
