[QUOTE="Dr Justin Saya MD, post: 198866, member: 12687"] Indeed folks, the only thing we cannot provide/perform via telemedicine is a physical exam. Consequently, we rely on a surrogate (your local practitioner, clinic, urgent care, etc) to perform this service. A basic physical exam (such as an annual wellness exam, sports physical, etc) is all that is needed. Check vitals, listen to heart, lungs, abdomen, etc. This is within the scope of practice of any licensed healthcare practitioner...basically med/nursing school 101. The purpose of the physical exam is and should be completely irrelevant to the practitioner performing the physical exam, but unfortunately medical care is not immune to bias and stigma. Minute clinic denying a physical exam because it is for the purpose of ensuring normal physical health parameters for consideration of potential hormone replacement is akin to Jiffy Lube denying an oil change because the customer states they occasionally speed up to pass a yellow light. You get my point! [/QUOTE]
