40 pediatric patients seen by a general practitioner (GP) whom the GP has referred or wants to refer to a pediatrician for clinical evaluation are included in this study. Study is designed in 2 parts. Part 1 is at the emergency room in the hospital Part 2 is at the GPs office The pediatrician sees the patient through a telemedicine consultation. Then sees the patient in real life to see if what was seen during telemedicine corresponds with the real life consultation. With telemedicine and real life consultation the pediatrician rates the patient as either a candidate to go home or to be admitted. With the telemedicine consultation there is also an option "in doubt: i want to see the patient in real life". Also with both telemedicine and real life examination the pediatrician scores the patient using the respiratory observation scale (Siew et al, 2016) Goal is to: Check practical feasability Check whether there are no great objections for a larger study (ie. in case telemedicine consultation is much harder to do a physical examination
