A primary care physician consults with an orthopedic specialist affiliated with secondopinions.com via telemedicine.

In this example a patient presents to their primary care physician with a severely broken ankle. The break is complex and the patient is young, so the doctor wants to consult with an orthopedic specialist for a second opinion before reducing the fracture.

Telemedicine provides an immediate interactive platform that connects the primary
care physician with the second opinion specialist.  Sharing the screen, the doctors view medical records and diagnostic images, annotate areas of interest and arrive at a consensus for treatment.

The combination of second opinions coupled with a real-time video-conferencing , an interactive multimedia whiteboard and diagnostic image viewer allows for an unprecedented level of professional collaboration and rapid turnaround, resulting in a highly favorable outcome.
