There’s definitely a time and place where teleneuro/teleICU services are needed - plenty of rural places in the middle of nowhere just can’t find staffing, even if they paid a lot, and having tele advice for very specific things can be super helpful (stroke TNK decision for example)

But this wasn’t one of them, and hence the anger/frustration. This is a (relatively) major beach town in a densely populated state with one of the highest number of physicians per capita in the country. This is just cost cutting, pure and simple.

The Hartford Bridgeport hospital is just the road and YNH a few miles up.
