I don't see much of a difference. If a radiologist in India/China is examining US patient XRays through the Internet, why can't a basic science student learn off the Internet? At most schools basic sciences are nothing but word docs and ppt which the professor reads in front of the class - which is half asleep. And whats more? To become a radiologist you need 10 years (4 for MD + 6 residency) of training. So basically you're spending 2 out of 10 years online ~ 20% of your overall training is online.
Then 100% of your career is online. So, I don't see anything wrong with online stuff - even though its banned in most states. What do you say?

And for your mom's employer who is "diagnosing" patients he's not physically seeing and examining...I wonder how he's doing the billing and who's getting paid for techinical/professional component?
