The amount of confused euros ITT is hilarious. Yeah, the states is very backwards. Paper prescriptions, paper checks, paper social benefits cards. What most people don't realize, like in the meme, just because a pharmacy gets a prescription doesn't mean they don't call into the docs office to confirm the script. These are rituals from a bygone era that should have been long replaced by computers and near instantaneous communication.
Central EU, I get my prescriptions on paper. They also send them digitally to some system so I can simply walk into a pharmacy and pick up my stuff using me e-ID.
Also central EU. Some of my prescriptions are transferred socially via my health insurance card. Others are still on paper. Even if I get them from the same doctor during the same appointment, they might be mixed.
I haven't yet figured out the logic for which prescriptions are digital and which require paper.
