Can doctors get any idler?
Anyways, stupid idea. Sick people want to share with a real person. Hard enough to do with a flesh and blood arse giving you 12 minutes of his/her time, let alone a 'remote presence' (as if that even makes sense). The only circumstance where the scenario is a necessary evil, is true remoteness eg. medical advice for people in very remote locations like the Arctic.
Next profit idea: don't even use a real doctor, instead, an avatar with AI that is 'really good at listening and looking'.
