In the past, doctors had to see a patient before they could make a diagnosis. Doctors were also restricted in whom they could tell about this diagnosis?the patient and his or her trusted next of kin, the nurse, and perhaps the odd interested colleague. Recent advances in technology first brought us telemedicine, where doctors can assist other doctors in making a diagnosis, guide surgical procedures, or even perform surgery themselves, without being physically near the patient.
