   I need to fax a form to the office of the sugeon who operated on my   
   wrist. One of the other members of my Friends meeting has a   
   combined-function printer that he told me he can hook up quickly to send   
   a fax.   
      
   However, I've been getting advice from a physician who's also in my   
   meeting. He has a POTS phone line, but no FAX machine.   
      
   This is quit a surprise to me: I though doctors just had to have FAX   
   machines. None of them give out email addresses, and I've never seen a   
   doctor's office that would agree to accept a "signed" email in place of   
   a FAX.   
      
   I get the feeling that I've missed some sort of change, either in the   
   HIPAA rules, or in some other law. Have medical practices started   
   accepting SSL signed emails?
