Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I just got off the phone with my pharmacy and my Rheumy's office. I called in to the pharmacy to get some meds refilled and the Rummy refused to refill the Lodine prescription! So I called the doctor's office to find out why. To begin with, the nurse said Lodine is a " pain Med " so I couldn't take that and the MS Contin (real) pain med, so they refused my NSAID because it is a pain med. Makes good sense, huh? Then when I called her on the Lodine, " oh, yeah, it was refused because I haven't seen the doc and was supposed to see him for my 6 month checkup, and it was my fault for not making an appointment " ! OK, so she switched me to the admissions desk to make the appointment. We got the date and time settled and she was going to just hang up as if the call was finished. The Lodine question was not settled yet, so she gave me back to the nurse. In the meantime, I found the papers for the Lodine and read some of it to her, this is an NSAID! That might have rung a bell because she immediately changed her tune and said she would call and approve the refill for me. I said, " See that you do, please " , and left it at that. How much money do they get paid? I can undoubtedly do that well! Dennis Quote
