Like it or not, telehealth has fully arrived!\xa0 As Covid grappled the world, 2020\xa0 saw a dramatic rise in the implementation of telehealth services.\xa0 How has telehealth impacted you? Do you love it or hate it? We discuss the pros and cons for both physicians and patients, and share some laughs about some of our personal struggles with it.
