Doctors aren't in love with getting faxes from their patients for the same reasons they don't like email: It leaves a paper trail.

In a day and age when malpractice lawsuits are common, paper trails can indeed be worrisome for many doctors. Not because they are bad doctors, but because lawyers can and have been known to make mountainous issues out of minor differences of opinion among doctors when it comes to treating various conditions. And, surprise, surprise, Doctors are human beings and can actually make mistakes.

But regardless, I think that faxing your doctor (and mailing a copy of your fax) is a great way to optimize your overall care with your doctor. First of all, it's a great communication tool. When you take the time to write a letter, you can make sure you cover all of your symptoms and questions, leaving no details uncovered.

Secondly, a fax and letter puts your doctor in the hot seat so to speak. The patient that has a written record and paper trail is going to get more attention to detail and concern for their care than the patient that only communicates in the privacy of the doctors office. Your doctor will remember that you're the patient keeping records, and will make sure he dots every i and crosses every t when it comes to your health care.

I have a family member that sees multiple doctors and specialists each week. After beginning to communicate with our doctors by fax, I noticed a steadily increasing level of care. These doctors will now often take the time to actually call to check on symptoms and progress (probably hoping to avoid my future faxes!)

Some Tips:

When faxing your doctor, make sure you are straightforward and get to the point fast. Doctors don't have a lot of time, and they don't want to read about unrelated minutiae. Be cordial, but pithy.

Keep your faxes to a minimum. Think them through and make sure you cover everything before you press send. Dribbling in freshly remembered details every day or week is not going go over well.

Keep in mind that secretaries and other office staff may have access to your fax and may read your letter to your doctor first. Neither faxes nor emails are particularly private, but in a busy office, staff don't usually have any more time than your doctor to read and address items unrelated to their immediate workload.

Thanks for an extra source to send fax messages

very useful!

I bet the guy is completely right. The ability to receive and send faxes whenever and wherever you access your e-mail has proven too irresistible for many fax users to ignore.

I am already using a free fax service from 800PBX.com which is nice and easy to send fax anywhere in US and Canada for free.

With this new source I can double it...

I recently went through the desk and threw out a whole bunch of 3.5 inch floppy disks. Since my computers haven't had a disk drive like that for two generations now I figured it was time.

It's amazing how much old technology we hold onto thinking we might need it someday. But someday never comes.

Thanks so much for pointing this out to me!

I am currently doing my part to GREEN the office I work in & at the same time, I am working on a GREEN program here at the office to encourange everyone to get involved.

I am very interested in the MYFAX fax server & have included it into my Project Green Office: Action Plan. I have been looking for some numbers (cost savings) I can present to management to pursuade them to convert to MYFAX. Do you having any figures of savings available?

Hi Allan,
You hit the nail on the head with your description of our motives. We really do try to put a human face on all of our contact with people, whether they are customers or not. That is why my real name is used on our correspondence and on this blog. At MyFax it is important to us that we are seen as real people and not some nameless, faceless corporation. And while I personally agree with your closing, it is nice to get a variety of opinions for other "real people".

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks so much for sending me your thoughts on this topic. As to what we were thinking: I guess like most people who use email as a marketing tool, our biggest hurdle is to get people to open the email we send. You can have the best offer and the best content but it means nothing if you can't get the person you sent it to, to open it once it hits their inbox. So we are constantly thinking about eye-catching (and mouse clicking) subject lines. Though we didn't think the use of these symbols would be off offensive, like with all of our subject lines, we don't really know the reaction until we try them out. Just so you know, we have removed these symbols.

Hi Mary,
Thanks for your comments about MyFax, I personally think one of the best things about our service is the amount of physical paper that it saves, I remember when I used to have to search through piles of paper on my desk for that one document I was looking for!

I feel that as ground up's we have an obligation to treat each other with respect no matter how pissed of we are with a service. The person getting the email with the intent that the symbols are offensive is not the one who started the problem...so why take it out on a customer service person.

The world is hostile enough without adding more to our work lives.

Be polite but strong when logging a complaint, just keep the offensive stuff out of our emails and our speach, there are more effective ways to deal with problems and this isn't one of them.

There are people out there who get upset over the simplest things. You can't please everybody, nor can you always not offend everybody. Symbols like that have been used for years in cartoons that appear in family newspapers that will change the "H-E-double hockeysticks" word to heck.

I wish my life was so laid back that I had time to complain about such trivial things. People should worry about issues such as hunger, child/spousal abuse, the environment, the war in Iraq, or whether the members of professional sports teams are way overpaid relative to the value they bring society.

@%!& is only a dirty word if your mind makes it so. The symbols themselves mean nothing.

2008-03-26T10:33:00.000-07:00

This is the same kind of issue that is faced by comedy writers where different interpretations of words can amuse or offend an audience - the classic "double entendre". This device is the source of a lot of humour.

The British courts long ago ruled that obscene interpretations of words that are in themselves inoffensive are solely in the mind of the reader/listener, and cannot be attributed to the author.

In other words if a reader sees obscenity or bad taste in their interpretation of a word(s) then that's their problem to handle.

In your case "@%!&" can be open to a range of interpretations such as "heck", "hell", "frig", etc, etc. leading all the way to the notorious f-word

Putting all that aside, the real issue you face is the perception of your clients. You do not want to offend and yet you want to present a human face that likes a bit of fun and is willing to play with humour. This is a good thing for many reasons. If a few ( very few I would guess) can't avoid reaching for that f-word in their minds I say too bad and let's move on.

Tara,
Ironically, I was just surfing the web looking for the services you offer. If I had joined MyFax and received the email heading that you speak of I would be quite offended. To each his own but I find it very unprofessional and I would be begin to question the way you do business. I would certainly consider switching.
With genuine curiosty I ask, 'what were you thinking?"
