Have the people that are designing the system of the telehealth, have them trying to log in and do what their directions say. My caregiver, though, is a 100% positive and absolutely wonderful doctor and I constantly, to everybody, talk about him in the highest regard and wish there was a way to clone him for other people.

It seems I may have to find another Neurologist mental health care provider next month and that scares me to trust someone else. Other than that Dr. Kridel is amazing. There is such a demand on him that I may have slipped through the cracks.
