This past week, I experienced my first virtual doctor’s visit. First time for everything, right? Before I was permitted to meet with my doctor, I had to first pass a Zoom test with the nursing staff. Quite understandable because, after all, they don’t know if I’m a Baby Boomer Zoomer or computer illiterate!
During “normal” (nothing seems normal these days) office visits, the doctor arrives in the exam room, and checks the computer and vitals the nurse took before glancing my way to talk about my health. The Zoom visit had him making almost constant eye contact and engaging more deeply in conversation than I’ve ever experienced in person, so two thumbs up from my perspective.
