In this stressful world, here are some lighter insights on my experiences with telehealth. Don't assume older patients won't accept telehealth. They are more savvy than you think. They will amaze you. 1/6 #telehealth

Older patients still "dress up" for doctors' visits. Young people don't think twice about conducting a visit from bed, in their pajamas. Young people have as much difficulty logging on, as their older counterparts2/6 #Endotwitter

It is hard to schedule older patients for a visit....they are never home! My rule of thumb? If they are over 80, they are out of the house. What is lockdown? #Telemedicine 3/6

Our patients are apprehensive during this time. They are appreciative that we are checking up on them. Initially thought of only seeing time-sensitive patients but am so glad we see everyone. 4/6

Celebrated two birthdays with my patients this week. EPIC notifies you of the event when you log on. My patients were happy to make me part of their special day. It is a lonely time for most. Did not cure their osteoporosis but brought them some cheer.5/6

This pandemic has changed health care delivery in a radical way. My older patients may not show up in clinic anymore! Who has time for an in-office visit when you have to organize a party on zoom? 6/6 #lockdown @HenryFordNews @HEndocrinology
