Telemedicine "healing at a distance" Telemedicine has many advantages especially in time of pandemics for both doctors and patients, low cost and easily accessibility. Pandemics especially COVID 19 has radically change the medical team thoughts about the telemedicine. It can decrease the exposure of the medical team to infection and expected by some of the medical team to be very beneficial if done in good and legal manner. Although, telemedicine has many advantages, also has many disadvantages and medicolegal problems, breakdown in the relationship between medical teams and patients, mis diagnosis or wrong treatment. There are many legal and ethical aspects of telemedicine. These include the medical responsibilities, the confidentiality and privacy of the patients can not be maintained, the jurisdictional problems. Shortage of medical practitioners and specialists, shortage of internet facilities, low education levels in some patients all are problems facing the telemedicine in developing countries. The evolution of telemedicine poses a series of legal problems ranging from the profiles on the subject of authorization and accreditation to those concerning the protection of patient confidentiality, the definition and solution of which, in the absence of specific regulatory provisions, is mainly left to the assessment of compatibility of the practices adopted so far, with the general regulatory framework. This research will be done to clarify the role of telemedicine, and if it has a share hand or the upper hand if compared with traditional medicine.
