Drs are so grrrrrrrrr at times

> I was thinking of taking a small tape recorder with me and taping my

doctor everytime I go in from now on without his knowledge- would this be

considered illegal? Asks the legal assistant- ( laws change )- gosh they

sure can make you feel like a fool at times.

>

> I did as he told me to do and now he claims he said oppositie.

> Call me - he said- when the lorcet is gone- dont even refill the second

bottle- just wont be worth it, you are going to obviously need a larger

amount and it wouldnt be worth the pharmacists time , yours or mine for you

to just refill that 90 day bottle- ok......... I do as told- he said he

never said it and I get treated as if I am a drug addict- she said ( the

secretary) I know him- he would never suggest such a thing for a person who

is on 90 mgs of morphine....... I said hmmmmmmmm.. so you are saying I am

making this up? No but there must be a misunderstanding- Yes- I'd say-

doctor is messing his patients up or something........ She suggested if I am

in so much pain yet that I am unable to sleep that perhaps I should come in

before my next appointment..........

>

> He is a sweetie in person- careful with me etc- but seems once I leave

that office, talks are forgotten and I end up feeling like they think I

relish taking medications just to be able to get thru each hour..........

>

> Darn near trashed all the meds and SSI stuff- am tired of deadlines- and

accusations - while I hurt- cant they see putting deadlines on someone that

has no idea if they will be able to sit in a chair for longer than a few

short minutes is stressing who they say to stay out of stress??

>

> Sorry- Just couldnt sleep again due to pain and all what the secretary

said on the phone made my hair stand up straight again...........did she

make me an earlier appointment? No- I did mention well ya know- you guys

have had me on lorcet a long time- what about immunity, could it be possible

Ive built an immunity to it, because it is really no longer a relief- she

said - Oh I suppose that could be- I will talk to dr and see what he says.

Did I hear back from her? Nope--

Sorry to hear your father had to go through this mess as well.

This most recent dose they have me on- the latest two new meds are really messed

up.............. one bottle being shorted 38 pills and another being shorted 11

pills........ These - once again- were not counted at the drug store- someone

picked them up before I had a chance to make sure it was brought up....... But

now - each and every family member knows to count before they leave.

Gosh thats expensive for one pill !

Take Care- and thanks for the response!

TJ

Re: Re: Drs are so grrrrrrrrr at times

and the pharmacists here really have a tizzy if you tell them they

miscalculated......... I am housebound and have family pick up my medication and

counted them this time- due to shortage last time and by golly, it was short- 1

pill..........

TJ - I can feel for you. My FIL, who died of Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS), was

on a medication to help control his ALS. He was shorted in the past by Walgreens

on my MIL's meds (Zoloft) before, so he got smart and would mark on the calendar

the day he started taking the expensive ALS meds. He would also count them out

to be sure. One month he was shorted TEN pills at $15.00 a pill which came out

to $150.00. I called the pharmacy, went down in person, talked several times to

the manager, and got NO WHERE!!! They said it couldn't have happened because

they opened a new bottle from the shelf. Apparently they didn't even count the

pills...just repackaged them into one of there bottles.

Just wanted to let you know that you are not the only one who has been

shortened....
