I hate to speculate but from his letter it appears that he Rxd
treatment for five or six months until the kid could get in to see him.

AND though I don't disagree with your SENTIMENT here, the standard is
NOT what YOU think.

So, if CT state board and accepted medical practice REQUIRES a physical
examination in person and/or proper documentation for a diagnosis, and
Dr Jones didn't have it, it doesn't matter what YOU think is
acceptable. Also, every state requires proper record keeping.

And there could be issues regarding insurance billiings which require
proper documentation.

I've heard of IV being prescribed without seeing a patient. More than
once.

I do think that Dr Jones would have been well advised to work with a
local doctor, consulting UNTIL he could see the kid and then have a
local doctor available and on board in case something happened when the
kid was in Utah between Jones visits.
