In my state most doctors don't have the technology to send digital eScript for controlled substances

Out of curiosity, what state are you in?

Even in Alaska, not generally a very technically advanced state, I never met a doctors that didn't have the ability to send eScripts. I never visited a doc in a remote village however, might be a different story out there.

California, you'd think the handful of doctors I've busted could send an eScript to a national chain (CVS), but I'm denied and made to carry 3 months worth of wonky triplicate paper prescriptions that are prone to being misplaced.
I'm in Illinois and have to get a paper script for my controlled substance prescriptions (Adderall)
