Drs and nurses who do tele health: where is the most unusual place a patient has attended their appointment from?

r/

One of my kids had an issue come up during a camping trip and we did tele health from a tent. I assumed that use of tele health would be pretty common, but the dr seemed surprised so it makes me wonder.

    NASA has used telehealth for astronauts on the international space station.

    Yeah, and before you answer … don’t forget about those HIPPA laws.

    Bathroom or closet. That was the only private space in the home at the time so that’s where we were.

    Not a tele health appt but had a candidate for a virtual interview do their interview with me from the waiting room outside my office as they thought it was face to face. Due to standards we couldn’t make the exception so they had to do it virtually.
