That's kind of hilariously sad. So our government system incentivizes doctors to inconvenience patients like this for no good reason, and another system that also bills AHS shows up to fix that. I don't know all the risks to personal health this brings(no issue for simple prescriptions) but it sure is silly it even needs to exist.
