HaHa.
But the laugh is on us.
We spend the time and effort.
They pick up the chips.
The thing about paper scripts is it forces the patient to be part of the transaction.
They have to come in to the office to get a piece of paper.
They have to safeguard it -- I won't rewrite it if they "lose" it.
If the pharmacy doesn't have or won't fill the prescription, they can take it somewhere else.
It doesn't cost me anything for additional software and the headaches involved in that.
It doesn't frustrate me waiting for the program to execute and the various identity checks to occur.
It doesn't fail when the internet goes down.
