to fax them back

Hi everyone, I had to sign some medical papers recently and was shocked when the clinic asked me to fax them back. I honestly thought fax died years ago. Why is it still used in healthcare of all places?

Hello! That happens more often than you’d think. Healthcare providers rely heavily on fax because it ensures sensitive patient data is transmitted securely and in compliance with regulations like HIPAA. The system provides a direct, auditable trail that email often lacks.
