When You’ve Got Telehealth…"Snow Problem”

Massachusetts General Hospital used telehealth to service snowed in Bostonians this past week so they didn’t miss an outpatient visit. It’s high time we bring direct-to-consumer telehealth to the forefront…there’s just one caveat.

In some areas of Boston this week, two-plus feet of snow fell and trapped people inside their homes. In this hopeless situation, you’re pretty much destined to wait a day, break out the Netflix, and eat the food you quickly grabbed from the grocery aisle in the hectic run-up to the storm. Your options are pretty limited.
