    Thanks so much for this post Dorian.  This is really exciting news and I hope it takes off and spreads like wildfire.  What a tremendous opportunity for the medical community to reach more people in need.  As well, this could be a great releif to caregivers struggling to get loved ones out of the house and into a doc's office.

     

    I'll look forward to any updates on this project!

    Having house calls is nice. My father-in-law has had house calls on and off depending on his doctor's schedule. In Jan./Feb. he could not come due to the weather and busy schedule but he came again 2 weeks ago. Since he  viisits nurshing homes as well, he also makes house calls but it is like favors.

    It would be nice if there is a system that enables house calls. However sometimes the clinic has the advantage that there are lots of medical equipments that private homes don't have.
