I am jealous of all of you who fax your prescriptions directly, and yet I am frightened to follow suit.
It seems like it would save time 95% of the time, but at least one or two patients a day change their mind about a Rx, or remembers an allergy, etc, and then what do you do? Call the pharmacy, wait on hold, explain the situation, refax the prescription.
I like the feedback I'm getting when I hand people their nice typed Rx's and they read them, and confirm that they have the right medication in their hand when they walk out the door.
