Hi



Certainly no hard information in the article, and several apparently 'evasive' responses



Concern has also been expressed in the UK, as a major supermarket chain here (Asda) is owned by Walmart and we have seen the remote consultation kiosk (even without diagnostics) mooted as a future model for patient care . . .



Best wishes

It amazing how little the article really said when we know that a lot more questions and details was asked for.
