in reply to @leslie2121 Yes, I have an online portal where I communicate with my doctors. However, my hematologist has a "nurse navigator" who I call Nurse Ratchet, because she filters all of my messages to the doctor, and I never know if he sees my messages or not. During a recent visit with my OB/GYN, during which she thought that perhaps the fact that I am feeling hot all the time was not hormonal, but perhaps some kind of malignancy, I sent a message to the damn doctor, Nurse responded, "hmm....interesting. I will order more labs."
