Huh. I thought that was supposed to be one of the positive things came out of all this; a recognition that email referrals and prescriptions and telehealth etc were a good idea that helped a lot of people and ought to be continued, irrespective of whether there's a pandemic on or not. Sounds like they're just being arbitrary/lazy.

    Honestly! Like because of my chronic pain it's painful to walk long periods. My work is close to my doctors, but for what should be maybe a 2 minute walk, takes me maybe 5 - 10 minutes including the one or two stops in between. I just thought it'd be easier and quicker to get it emailed.

    I even asked the doctor if I could get it emailed and she was like "the receptionists aren't here but it can be done on Monday", like cool awesome. But I didn't even get a message or whatever to be like "yeah soz we can't do it". Luckily I did it today before my appointment on Thursday but man...
