Dr. Jones: The new technology dubbed “telemedicine” will provide sustained improvement in at least rural patient care since it allows rural physicians to televise medical examinations to specialists who live at great distances—specialists who will thus be able to provide advice the rural patient would otherwise not receive.
Dr. Carabella: Not so. Telemedicine might help rural patient care initially. However, small hospitals will soon realize that they can minimize expenses by replacing physicians with technicians who can use telemedicine to transmit examinations to large medical centers, resulting in fewer patients being able to receive traditional, direct medical examinations. Eventually, it will be the rare individual who ever gets truly personal attention. Hence, rural as well as urban patient care will suffer.
Which one of the following is a point at issue between Dr. Jones and Dr. Carabella?
(A) whether medical specialists in general offer better advice than rural physicians
(B) whether telemedicine technology will be installed only in rural hospitals and rural medical centers
(C) whether telemedicine is likely to be widely adopted in rural areas in future years
(D) whether the patients who most need the advice of medical specialists are likely to receive it through telemedicine
(E) whether the technology of telemedicine will benefit rural patients in the long run
