By the way Dr Blumenthal at TBI told me (or his assistant told me) that he won't do a tele med visit for Medicare patients. So I'd have to fly across the country and bring with me MRI's that are not older than 6 months. And I should get the MRI's before I call for an appt. So if I get the MRI's and then no appt is available within 6 months, it looks like I get caught in an endless loop. Don't want to get them out there, because then if something goes wrong in getting the MRi's , then I've flown to Texas for nothing. Likely this won't happen to you, but be prepared for the medical system to fail you even if the doctor doesn't
