Most adults shouldn't run a fever for regular cold.... unless it’s flu, covid, strep, pneumonia, or bad tonsillitis or lingering sinus infection in my experience...he hasn’t said his symptoms so not sure

Tele is good if you know what is wrong and just need a prescription. If you need a doc to be a doc, they are useless.

If it’s for something that doesn’t appear serious you can call you insurance company, they may have a contract with a company for telehealth services. I know it’s offered in my plan (through BCBS).

Everybody pretty much sucks at their jobs nowadays. It's been a while (probably years) since I've paid for any kind of service and thought, "wow, they did a really great job!"
It's more like, "well, I could probably have done a lot better myself, but I just don't have the time / tools / credentials." Notice I didn't even put "training" or "expertise" in there, because nobody has any anymore.
Doctors, accountants, mechanics... they all just fricking suck now. Idiocracy came hundreds of years early.

No.
I offered it for a few patients initially for routine things like follow up on results.
But most everything for me relies on exam in holes I can't see on a screen, so I don't really offer it regularly unless the patient asks for it.
Damn baw, you a OBGYN, colon/ rectal surgeon, ent?
