(115,674 posts)helicopters keep flying overhead, I'm fine. The neighborhood association warned us to put our trash and recycling containers in our garages and keep our garden hoses ready in case there was rioting in the area (so far there isn't), and I have done that, so I'm cool.

The interesting question arose about how to handle a telemedicine visit if you have a teenager who has a question about their genitalia. I am NOT going to look at someones junk on line. Just NO! Im told there are secure ways to do this, but no way in hell. Anything can get hacked.

A lot of my patients are working girls. I try to make sure I'm always there for them so they can get the care they need.
