The subject of remote consultations is still controversial. It came to the fore during the pandemic. For medical staff, it is a topic as old as the telephone.

Remote consultations with patients, however, have only become available in the last ten or fifteen years, which makes them a relatively new phenomenon. Should we be wary of them? To me, online consultations are an expression of the democratisation of access to medicine. Without leaving home, without huge travel costs and, above all, without a long wait, any patient can consult the best specialists in the world about their health problem.
