(2) Olgaf Kharif, House Calls Without the Home Visits.

Note:
(a) summary underneath the title in print: Health insurers are adding video service to cut costs
(b) Read only the first three paragraphs.

(c) "After a quick diagnosis of an infection (the doctor, [mother Beth] Ferrin says, treated it as strep, though couldn’t diagnose that without a test), a prescription for an antibiotic was called in to a pharmacy near Ferrin’s home in Bellbrook, Ohio."
(i) The strep is short for streptococcus 鏈球菌.
(ii) Bellbrook, Ohio
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellbrook,_Ohio
(a city; Population 6,943 (2010 census))
(iii) I do not know why the Ferrins went through the trouble, and visited a pharmacy at the end. CVS Caremark, stationed with a nurse practitioner, operates in  Bellbrook, Ohio.
