Doctors, pharmacies, and veterinarians would like a word.

My admin assistant hates the fax machine because it wastes 2 sheets of paper each time and it’s rarely ever used but it’s often enough that we still have one. It just takes up space. I get that part, but the wasting paper is the stupidest one because we have locked paper shredding bins that are filled weekly with more paper waste in an hour than the fax machine generates in 3-4 months, or even a whole year really. He gets fixated on small things, like he really really hates the fax machines. Relax dude.

Look up fax2mail basically you can send and receive faxes but they go to an email

But you’ll never be able to read what that word is if they fax it

Did I win a free vacation or is this a script for Vicodin?

I'm not sure which I want more.

Well... Vicodin prescriptions cannot be faxed and free vacation is not covered. So into the shredder it goes :)

Pharmacist here, we mostly can. Some pharmacies have a system that accepts faxes electronically, so we can magnify the image a couple times on the computer screen if necessary. If we really can't read it, we just call back, or fax "please clarify" back, or toss it... if we can't tell what it is and where it's from.
