Hey I am trying to get Matia to do web cam consults she seemed on board about it but she hasn't followed though on the topic at all. I am sure this is going to have to wait till Feb to even start because we would all need to test our call in times and maybe there might even be times where you can't do your consult from your laptop. I just feel like it would feel more like a consult if we looked at eachother and I mean how hard is that really? I talk with my family all the time with my web cam and if they can figure it out so can all of us.  what do you all think about it? I am going to nag her about it once the holiday is over.

WOW! This is def crossed my mind before as a possiblity. Since one dignostic aspect of chinese medicine involves reading the body and the face maybe that would be helpful to Matia - although the clarity of the picture can vary with computer cameras so I dont' really know how helpful it would be exactly but it would make the appointments feel more like  a physically there consults. I do worry though about a few variables- for example I have used Skype and gotten cut off in my connection more than a few times. It took some coordinating  to to get the call to come through which could take up time for an already precious 30 minutes. If those aspects could be streamlined it would be great!

I am thinking that people who like to do this would need to call in ahead and work it out with Lynn or something. I was thinking it would just be more personal she would be able to get more of a feel how I am and somethings she would also be able to see such as acne or rashes ect. I know the quality may not be great from computer to computer but I bought a cam and spent 30 on it and you can even see in the dark. A $10. camera vs a 30-40 is going to be a huge difference. Now I had to give this cam to my boyfriend because my computer didn't have the ram needed to support this fab cam but I do intend to upgrade so I can get it again. So when shopping for your cam you may have to try a few out and return them till you have the right one for you and your computer needs. I bought mine at staples and I tried a few of them out.
