Now that I have been projecting e-prescribing, e-faxing, and actual printing of scripts in the exam rooms on the extra 24 inch monitors, patients are getting a much better understanding of all the extra unnecessary clicks and down right silliness of the outdated DEA laws as they see the actual process in action. It is an extremely persuasive "argument".
There really is no logic behind not being able to e-prescribe all drugs.
I have encouraged my patients to talk to their congressmen and senators about the archaic laws that need to be updated and changed. Unless they love watching me develop bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome.
