It was outstanding.. and at least an hour and a half long.

Absolutely outstanding and impressive. I always learn something new from these pressers. Both Trump and Pence are awesome leaders in a crisis... or otherwise of course. Hope more Americans discover that (what we FReepers already knew).

Not many are going to want Biden and his gang of clowns to take Trump’s place.

Totally agree. Can you imagine Sleepy Creepy Senile Joe even holding a 10 minute presser?? And *of courses* he would destroy the economy and probably cost thousands of lives due to incompetency (like Obama did).

A month out...President Trump is suspending all taxes and closing most federal agencies. Nancy Pelosi is seen behind PREZ tearing up the tax code at this historic event.

IMO best R&R song in American history. YMMV.

As a vet with a disability that puts me in contact with that medical system, I love it.

MyVetHealth allows you to schedule visits, order prescriptions, ask questions, see all lab work and much more from your computer or phone.

Once or twice a year you see medical staff but it is so much better than my regular insurance and Medicare.

Do a search on “internet of things,” particularly medical devices.

Physicians across the U.S. are VERY relieved and thankful for the new Telemedicine provisions. This decision will truly save lives of both patients and health care providers.

This is great news! I have used this type of consultation before and was very happy to have it be available. I had the flu. Symptoms started when they always do: a Friday after 5 pm when it is impossible to see my doctor. Instead of having to wait until Monday and then call for an appointment, hoping to get in that day, or going to an urgent care and sitting in a room for several hours at least, filled with sick people who may have something transmissible or spreading what I have to others, I got to stay in bed and talk to a doctor, tell my symptoms, answer his questions, and get a prescription ordered and sent to my pharmacy.

If a condition is very serious, that is another matter. But that is not what telemedicine is designed for. If after a consultation the teledoctor thinks the patient needs to see medical help in person, they will say so. Meanwhile telemedicine allows regular doctors to focus their attention on more serious issues. And for the people who have more serious conditions, they will benefit as well by being able to be seen more easily with shorter wait times.

God bless and protect this man.

At one point, I taught a state agency how to use a ticom/telepresence system to save money.

Pretty neat. I had no idea these things exist and I’m a gadget guy. Probably because my bp is normal and the need never arose.

LOL, that is amazing (to me)!

Maybe I’ll get one of each just for the hell of it.

There is one with 3 contacts [one on the back to simultaneous put on your ankle] that plots 6 signals.

Paladin2 shows the older version of the Livecorp Kardia EKG monitor. equivalent to a single lead EKG recorder used by medicos. Transmits data to iphone or android smart phone via bluetooth.

The software is the key...provides pdf files that can be printed, emailed to physician. saved to your device, your cloud storage or to Livecorp cloud under monthly contract which also provides monthly summaries.

I have the Kardia 6L, capable of 6L data recording...because of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, an elusive bastard arrthymia to record because it comes and goes. Hard to discover in Dr. office or ER. Now I can catch it in real time for diagnosis. Amazing...the single lead is under $100, the 7 lead $150 about same size. Self contained battery with 3 yr life and can be replaced. No charging cords. It fits into a spare tri-fold wallet along with a USB C phone charging cord.

There's also a joint venture integrated product with Omron that takes blood pressure and EKG with wireless transmission to smart phones, using essentially the same software app.

I’m glad all this is so easily available to you folks who need it. I can only wonder what amazing things will be available in 5 or 10 yrs.

The MAGA agenda is more relevant than ever.

Good points, 9YearLurker...
