My only teleconference experience was in Yellowstone Park in 2010. My husband and I were traveling across the United States on a luxury touring motorcycle for 62 days in a row. Nothing to live out of except saddle bags. Many days we were riding 10 hours straight (stopping only to eat). Somewhere along the trip I caught a cold which was quickly turning into bronchitis. At the park near the entrance was a pharmacy. They asked me if I wanted to teleconference with a doctor. I said yes. He came on the monitor and talked to me for about 10 minutes. He then wrote a prescription which the pharmacy filled. Total cost of conference $50, prescription $22. I took it that night, within 18 hours I was well enough to continue our trip. On the back of the bike, in full sun, in August, on the highway etc. Now that guy, was worth every penny!
