A general overview (aimed at healthcare providers) of telemedicine and its legal obstacles.

“Ghost networks” are insurers’ in-network provider directories that are full of outdated or incorrect information, and providers who no longer accept the insurance in question.

Cannabis use as a medicine dates back to ~2300BC.
