  • In‌ ‌rare‌ ‌cases,‌ ‌the‌ ‌consultant‌ ‌may‌ ‌determine‌ ‌that‌ ‌the‌ ‌transmitted‌ ‌information‌ ‌is‌ ‌of‌ ‌inadequate‌ ‌quality,‌ ‌thus‌ ‌necessitating‌ ‌a‌ ‌face-‌ ‌to-face‌ ‌meeting‌ ‌with‌ ‌the‌ ‌patient,‌ ‌or‌ ‌at‌ ‌least‌ ‌a‌ ‌rescheduled‌ ‌video‌ ‌consult.‌ ‌
  • Delays‌ ‌in‌ ‌medical‌ ‌evaluation‌ ‌and‌ ‌treatment‌ ‌could‌ ‌occur‌ ‌due‌ ‌to‌ ‌deficiencies‌ ‌or‌ ‌failures‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ systems and ‌equipment.‌ ‌
  • In‌ ‌very‌ ‌rare‌ ‌instances,‌ ‌security‌ ‌protocols‌ ‌could‌ ‌fail,‌ ‌causing‌ ‌a‌ ‌breach‌ ‌of‌ ‌privacy‌ ‌of‌ ‌personal‌ ‌medical‌ ‌information.‌ ‌
  • In‌ ‌rare‌ ‌cases,‌ ‌a‌ ‌lack‌ ‌of‌ ‌access‌ ‌to‌ ‌complete‌ ‌medical‌ ‌records‌ ‌may‌ ‌result‌ ‌in‌ ‌adverse‌ ‌drug‌ ‌interactions‌ ‌or‌ ‌allergic‌ ‌reactions‌ ‌or‌ ‌other‌ ‌judgment‌ ‌errors.‌ ‌
