so what's the point of the doctor if they won't let you in if you're sick with anything?

You give them your money and then you go away so someone else can give them their money.

Next time pull this maneuver:

You do know you can do telehealth so you don’t infect the whole office staff

Did they tell you "You have a fever, go away" or "You have a fever, go get tested for COVID first"?

Also, did they offer or did you ask about telemedicine?

They make you drive to an office 45 minutes away to see a doctor

Yes, that’s why it’s called “tele”.

Your doctor sounds like a pussy. I'm pretty certain my doctor has seen covid cases in the office. It's kinda what they do.

When Covid first started I pulled a tendon in my foot. It was swollen and hurt like hell. I self medicated and thought it would go away.

After a few weeks, I did the Ochsner web dr thing. I showed her my foot on my iPad and we talked through what happened. Finally, she told me to go see a doctor.

TLDR - online ochsner is pointless.

No.

I offered it for a few patients initially for routine things like follow up on results.

But most everything for me relies on exam in holes I can't see on a screen, so I don't really offer it regularly unless the patient asks for it.

Any man that goes to the doctor because they have a fever isn’t a man.
