Hey Beth,
I am very sorry you've been treated this way. It's clearly unhelpful for you pdoc to act in this manner.

I do understand doctors being concerned about malpractice when "treatment" /observations are limited to the phone and extending this concern to video as well. Pdocs are suppp0sed to be able to dx TD,and they often use observation as a part of their evaluation. If telemedicine continues as the chosen method of treatment, some concessions must be made around major barrier/obstacles.

I have a friend in Japan. Video cafes are huge there. People go into the café, ask to reserve time and a small room. They use the computer to work on some of their online tasks. It's just one way people might be able to participate in telemedicine.

Another possibility might be a local library. I just don't know how much privacy one might have in that setting..

We need creative ideas for procuring computers for people in need..

I am so sorry so many are without the equipment needs. I hope provisions will be made.
I totally agree with fern, use what you have and do so without apology..

Much Love :
