From the BBC News: A television set in a cramped room
off a corridor in a busy London hospital provides Victor Power with
the key to his freedom.
Without the special television set, Victor would need to spend more
of his time in hospital and less time relaxing in the familiar
environments of his own home. But using the telemedicine scheme
allows Victor and another four patients with cystic fibrosis to
spend more time at home and less at the Royal Brompton Hospital,
London.
With just the flick of a switch, physiotherapist Olive Wilkinson
can bring the hospital to the comfort of Victor’s
bedroom.
