Required appointments with BE pulmonologist

Can you ask to see the pulmonologist via a video appointment in between and have any bloodwork or sputum samples done locally? I live "away" for half of each year, and that is how I keep up with my appointments.

Thanks Sue, another good suggestion/thought.
Also made me think of: "wonder if we will ever go to conference calls between BE specialist pulmonologist (Tyler), local pulmonologist (OKC) and patient. Wouldn't that be something....to be able to jump in and give input, ask questions and all brainstorm together according to what the patient has informed them of in terms of the patients personal health journey.. It would be a good check and balance on what was actually said to make sure all understood and rememberd correctly information pertinent to the patient and their care etc. etc.
Maybe, maybe some day if it would have more positive than negative concerns in such an arrangement.
Hope your Sunday was enjoyable.
Barbara
