Anne2 uses email to get remote care.
Transcript
And the one thing that amazed me was, whenever I had a question, I could just email Toronto. And on a Sunday afternoon, I thought of a question, so I emailed him, figuring I’d hear from him next week or so. Within an hour, I had a response. And that’s the way it was with most times I tried to contact him, unless he was out of town. But even in a timely manner. And for me to get an email and let me know, ‘Yes, he is there’ – somebody is actually reading my emails and responding. So yeah, I keep telling them that here in [province], but nobody seems to want to pick up on it.
