This is true re electronic prescriptions. It’s an awesome system that works like a charm.
However, paper prescriptions still exist and can be used in a pinch. I had a doctor write one out for me a few months ago. He did not have access to a computer but had a pad and his stamp on him.
Keep in mind that this electronic system came online a few years ago. Most doctors have issued paper prescriptions longer than electronic prescriptions.
It’s a bit dramatic to say that there is no way to get them to do it again if the need arose.
- tacocataco 3y agoSounds like the real crisis is that it costs a tiny bit more money doing it the old fashioned way.
- koliber 3y agoI hope I did not give an indication that it costs more money doing it the pen-and-paper way. There is no cost involved to the patient. Is not know about the doctor but I presume it’s free issuing a prescription either way.
