    My doctor was able to do that on the back of my blood test results last month without any sort of fancy prescription pad.

    But it has better odds of being followed on the fancy pad and it only costs paper so it's a great initiative.

      I have to admit I'm skeptical of the "initiative" value of fancy paper. If people aren't willing to listen to a licensed professional with a regular piece of paper, I have a hard time believing they'll listen to a licensed professional with a fancy piece of paper either.

        The CBC version doesn't mention that the reason why it's done all over Quebec is that it was tested in Saguenay and since it had great results they are extending it to the other 15 regions.

        Humans aren't rational and medicine is about empirical testing after all.

        If you can read French, prefer the Radio-Canada version, because when it's about Quebec CBC tends to be either incomplete or outright misleading.
