Also, a little off topic but relates. I see 4 different doctors for various health problems. During covid, they were all pushing virtual appointments (and can still charge full exam rate). But I told them if they cant hear my heart or lungs, no reason to get this virtual exam. I usually see them every 6 months. Went this month and they ALL want to see me again in 1 month. I asked why, never got a reason. I think Drs only want to make up $ they lost when they closed their offices. I'm looking for new doctors.

I don't do regular checkups. It just gives them a chance to rig something.
Right?! The virtual visit thing is insulting! My mom's dermatologist wanted to do her annual spot check virtually..?!
