Benefits of tele-healthcare to providers/doctors

As we often discuss and read about advantages of tele-health care for patients. Benefits of Tele-health care are not limited to patients only. While patients recieve 24/7 service using telehealth care, freedom from geographical barriers and free second opinion from specialist and experts.It also helps them in avoiding the travel expenses.
Providers and doctors are also benefitted from such a service equally. On one side they offer practitioners to save their time and energy from treating mild cases like mild fever, flu etc , while on the other they also provide doctors who are temporarily or permanently physically challenged due to some accident or are on vocations, to continue working and still be in contact with their patients. It also helps them in getting useful advices from experts around the world.
It also gives the doctors an opportunity to help suffering people around the world.
Just as telehealth gives patient the freedom to recieve medical care while sitting in a remote location; it also gives a doctor the freedom to extend his/her medical care services while sitting in a remote location.
