In March, four Orlando doctors at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center held a virtual meeting with specialists in Houston to discuss Biela's case - a meeting that until a few years ago would have been conducted by phone.In this case, even though the doctors were 1,000 miles apart, they were all seeing the same images at the same time - as if they were in the same room.

The Orlando group gathered in a new $200,000 telemedicine facility equipped with several cameras and two wall-mounted, six-wide TV screens that would make a deluxe home theater system if they weren't used to save lives.
