I have a fax machine. It is much easier to fax something than it is
to mail it or deliver it in person.

I got a prescription from the doctor yesterday. My doctor is 60
miles from my house. My pharmacy is about 15 min in the opposite
direction. To save 30 min, I should be able to stop at home and fax
them a copy of my prescription so they have time to prepare it, and
have it ready when I get there..........but no.

I called the pharmacy, and asked if I could fax the prescription to
them, and bring the original with me to pick it up. They said they
have to have the prescription before they can fill it.

I am not talking about a prescription for morphine. This is for
Vitamin D.

Can't you just buy vitamin D over-the-counter?

If it's a "prescription," his health plan may very well pay for it (or most
of it).
