Is a statement to a physician or a physiotherapist admissible as evidence of their truth?

In the White v. Stonestreet decision of December 8, 2005, Mr. Justice Ehrcke dealt with the issue. At issue in that case were statements made to the plaintiff’s physician and his physiotherapist. All parties in that case agreed that the plaintiff’s statement to the physician and the physiotherapist were admissible to the fact that they were said but in contention was whether or not they were admissible as evidence of their truth.
