Remote Medical Care for International Travel? Can I have a physician on call?

I was interviewed for an article on Andrew Weil's drweil.com about arranging medical care while travelling abroad. The answer: 'Yes, it is possible to arrange remote medical consultation while you're traveling abroad.'

One option is to find a travel medicine doctor who can do your pre-travel consultation in person and then agree to help you remotely if you need any assistance. A variety of services are available via e-mail, telephone or Skype.
