"Diabetes Centre"

Since the beginning of the pandemic, appointments have moved to a phone call instead of face to face. This was ok during the pandemic when no vaccines were available and I was willing to forgive the phone call over a bad line.  However I felt  the doctor could care less about my health and just wanted it to be over. I timed my last appointment at 6 minutes.  

Since my last appointment, I and many many others have now been double jabbed and I was hoping that I would be able to see the doctor in person again. My latest 6-month check up appointment was moved from face to face to being back on the phone. So I will have missed two years of HB1C tests, foot check ups and general friendly chats about my health that I really appreciated. 

I don't understand the change here - should I expect my health to be monitored remotely? Is face to face is the reserve of the few? What is health care without personality? Why should I even bother to pick up the phone when I get the call when I expect a disinterested doctor calling me because it's their job to and hurry to hang up to get to the next person.
