Not if you're a...: Not if you're a doctor yourself and are taking care of yourself... which is not recommended because even doctors need to have other primary care doctors taking care of them. Some routine lab tests may be ordered by online doctors such as on HealthTap's private consultations (at each doctor's discretion). There are also online lab sites where people get tests done and take results to their doctors.
