You get what you pay for: “Does the founder of FreeMD . . . have enough faith in his product to institute it at his own ER as its triage program of choice. Fire his triage nurse. Set up a computer in his lobby and have all prospective patients triage themselves. And if the program says you don’t need to see a doctor NOW, would he feel comfortable sending that patient home from the lobby without ever seeing them? If the answer is yes, then you, the patient, should trust FreeMD. If the answer is no, then you should delete your bookmark.”
