The May 14 edition of NPR’s Talk of the Nation featured Dr. Ray Dorsey and
a fairly extensive discussion of Telemedicine. One of Dr. Dorsey’s quotes,
“[I]n the 19th century, medicine developed anesthetics, which led us -
enabled us to operate on the inoperable. In the 20th century, we developed
antibiotics, which let us cure the incurable. In the 21st century, we have
telecommunications technology, which lets us reach the unreachable.”****
