Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 Hi, Ive just joined this group and wondered if any of you used online pharmacies or knew of this one – http://www.phoneconsultation.com ? My doctor is really unsympathetic to my chronic pain problems and wont prescribe the meds I need. For the past year I've been using online pharmacies to get my pain medications. This one looks better than most in that you can pay COD for your meds which I think is brilliant. Anyway - I've booked my physical exam for tomorrow as it looks a better than the site I usually use. Have any of you used this site and know when I should get my meds? I'm guessing Wednesday? I'll let you know just wanted others opinions! FlowerFairy Quote
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Posted April 2, 2004 E {:-}Greetings: Looking good and being good are too different things. What and how do you verify the basics of this company? Where are they located? Who are they affiliated with? How comparable are their prescription costs to other accredited online pharmacies? I have never heard of a online pharmacy charging $140.00 for a physical exam or having a physical exam period! Have you considered getting a new doctor first before laying out the money for this exam? What is the cost of a regular physical in the area you live in? What is the possibility of this doctor doing the physical exam prescribing the medications you don't need? Do you know anything about the doctor you are going to see? What are the qualifications of said doctor? :-) Be Blessed E.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 Oh man, do I agree. You have to find a Dr. to listen to you. Unless you are loaded and can afford these scalpers.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 Bumm: I used online physicians like this with their own pharmacies for a few years when I was working because my own doctor wasn't doing squat. It is the only thing that kept me working the hours I was putting in. Sure it was high but considering that I could work one night and pay for the entire thing, doctor consult fee and script filled with refills, it was worth it. I am glad that I have a great doctor now though. The first doctor I saw in this area is the one i ticked off to the point of him doing a blood workup and found the tests for the lupus to be positive in a big way then shipped me off to a rheumy. I had only been telling him for years that my body was like a complete bruise. The online doctors, while their conversations were short, gave more compassion, caring, and responsible service that the local doctors didn't seem to know how to do. I was very impressed with the online doctors and used them frequently until I got fed up with my local doctor, not my current one.
