Video medical treatment increasingly is filling the gap in regions of the country where specialists are in short supply. And mental health appointments work especially well over video, enabling therapists to reach many patients who otherwise might not get help, experts say."
And it's as easy to provide this from India - at half the cost ! Medical outsourcing is going to become increasingly popular.
