Orthopaedists routinely consult ER docs by remotely viewing images on laptops/pc’s. Now the technology is pocket sized.

True...but a consultation is a much different beast than a diagnostic read.

Heck, people used to put images in email and such for consultation purposes.

Even still, every tool that can give clinicians a little more flexibility is a good thing. Makes our job harder, having to support this kind of thing, but if it is for improving patient care, then...it’s all good...:)
