there's internet services that let you send faxes by selecting them in your "print" window.

the reason I bring this up is, you know that tweet, "you're not praying right. you're praying like a flare placed where no one can see it. you have to pray like a shotgun aimed at a house"?

a fax is the shotgun aimed at a house, for medical bureaucracy.

not only have you saddled them with A Physical Object, but it came from the Authority Machine.

works best for forms. my records get transferred with 0 goading now and used to take 6 calls or more.

Its more that we get 200 calls a day and 20 faxes a day lol. You've just placed your issue in a stream with a much more favorable signal/noise ratio

plus I can scan then route a fax to someone which I can't so concretely do with a phone call, EMR systems seem to eat calls, they seem to just wander into the either whenever I try to send a call transcript to someone

in reply to @nora's post:

My local hospital said I had no option other than to fax in a requisition for an X-Ray, they wouldn't even let me drop it off in person...

It's 2023 what are they doing?? Is this the work of "Big Fax"???

in reply to @NireBryce's post:

I really wish I understood the end-to-end process of Fax-over-IP. Like: when I pay my (VoIP) provider for "a fax" what am I paying for? Are they taking it off IP and putting it on the PSTN? Or am I paying for the trouble of converting it to T.38?

yes that last one

but also

T.38 is designed to work with VoIP services and often supported by analog telephone adapters used by legacy fax machines that need to connect through a VoIP service.

so i think it's true even if you use a physical machine and not the one in your computer
