telestroking
A snarky and disparaging term used to describe the commonplace distracted attendance of telemedicine appointments by tuned-out and exhausted medical professionals during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
I logged onto the “telemed” appointment and was hit immediately by the vibe that my doctor was telestroking his way through the numbing electronic workday he was trying hard to embrace with an abnormally forced charm and weirdly vacant grin.
