Presidential campaigns put spotlight on telemedicine
As they campaigned on opposite coasts in recent weeks, Sen. John Kerry and President George Bush highlighted the same advance in telemedicine.
Kerry spoke of a cardiologist in rural Virginia who recently spotted a congenital heart defect on an ultrasound beamed from a patient 75 miles away.
Bush, speaking at the Commerce Department after viewing a demonstration of how broadband technologies allowed a doctor standing with him to offer a diagnosis to a patient in Maryland, repeated a promise to make broadband access available to all corners of the country by 2007.
