Doctor's note or not, analog service, back to the central office, might 
not be available.  These days, "analog" service is generally provided 
over IP.  The old analog phone line is largely history.

BTW, at some point, all phone service is carried over a digital 
connection and has been for many years.  The only question is where the 
conversion takes place.  For decades it was in the central office.  Now, 
it could be in your home, as my home phone over Rogers is, or it could 
be out on the street somewhere.
