Telemedicine should be too boring to write about.

Perhaps that is the problem. I worked in a lab with graduate-level
computer scientists in health informatics. None of the students were
what I would describe as high caliber. Those students worked on
'sexier', more 'hardcore' PhD topics, like graphics, algorithmics, and
programming languages. I could not be dragged kicking and screaming to
work on 'telemedicine', and I suspect most high caliber CS researchers
would be the same.


PLEASE ANONYMIZE - thanks
