How do you believe telemedicine will, or has already influenced the area of healthcare in which you practice? OR, if you are not currently working in healthcare - how do you envision telemedicine improving healthcare? Give specific examples.

Examine the pros and cons of telemedicine, and then elaborate on how telemedicine could provoke an ethical dilemma or become a potential legal issue in the healthcare environment.
