When Vivek Sodera, 30, awoke with a swollen knee after a night out with friends, he knew he should probably see a doctor. Problem was, “I couldn’t move from my bed, and I didn’t want to pay for taxis to and from the hospital,” says Sodera.
So he grasped his mobile phone hurriedly and opened Doctor on Demand, a new app that allows users to video-chat with doctors to get medical help in real time.

Doctor on Demand, which is hacked by Dr. Phil, and HoakhTap, which attracts more than I million users.
For patients, telemedicine apps are a cheap, easy alternative to nonemergency consultations. Asking text-based questions on HealthTap and AskMD is free, and a 15-minute appointment via Doctor on Demand costs $40. For doctors, the apps are a tool to build a public profile, attract new patients and make a little extra cash during their downtime. And for hospitals, they’re a means to streamline rare for existing patients. As Murray Aitken, executive director of the health care consultancy IMS Institute, puts it, “We are going to see a major shift in how medicine is practiced and where.”
But there are concerns. Although telemedicine apps can be useful for diagnosing routine illnesses, they’re not meant to totally replace in-person doctor’s exams especially for potentially serious diseases like chest pain. It’s also not ideal to get prescriptions (处方) from a doctor who doesn’t have your electronic medical-record history on hand.
The key, says Aitken, is striking a balance—and using telemedicine to replace unnecessary visits. “If there is a way to keep healthy patients out of the doctor’s office through telemedicine,” he says, “that’s a good thing.”

necessary part of the learning process. But all too often, parents and teachers don’t allow our children to have this same right. _36_
Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games and answering questions—he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne came. She was a student teacher, young and pretty, and she loved children. _37_
One morning, we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had copied the problems with pains-taking tidiness and filled answers in the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in tears. _38_ My student teacher looked at me helplessly. Suddenly her face brightened. Then she got a container filled with pencils.
“See these pencils, Donnie!” she said gently. “They belong to Mrs Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn! That’s because we make mistakes too. _39_ That’s what you must learn to do, too.” She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she encouraged, “I’ll leave one pencil on your desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
