A doctor without an office

A new style for the iPod generation of physicians:

Let us be the latest but certainly not the last blog to spill a few pixels over Jay Parkinson, M.D., of Brooklyn. The good doctor and scarily accomplished photographer . . . has an offer to take care of you for $500 a year. And most of the time, you’ll be meeting online.

Parkinson, 31 and freshly licensed, has got no office, though he’s looking into renting a room. You’ll get two face-to-face visits a year (at your apartment, office or other mutually convenient place) and unlimited “e-visits,” his word not ours, for help with your health. Those e-visits could be IM chats, emails, or Web video sessions.

Here’s his website.
