Honestly asking though, what good is that? They can't take a look at you really, they can't refer you to a specialist, or order any tests for you, and if they find something somehow, they can't prescribe anything or perform any procedures. Or am I mistaken?

You’re mistaken, why do you speak with confidence when you don’t know what you’re talking about ?

I was not meaning to convey confidence in my question, I don't have any experience in paying for out-of-province doctors, that's why I asked the question in the first place, and even asked if I was mistaken. I was asking if all of those things are the case or not...

It’s true that doctors are limited in what they can do without a physical exam. But a lot of doctors’ appointments are for things that can be handled remotely, such as renewing a prescription.
