My treatment here has been pretty good over the Summer, and this place is right by my house so my husband and me were pretty pleased.
This got downright disturbing this September when I had surgery. All my prescriptions started coming in late. I would look online and they would say they were filled which I was told means "ordered" but for several days in a row I would go down or my husband would go down and absolutely no meds were ready. They would always say "Sorry didn't come" despite my getting a text saying things were ready.
The WORSE case was a prescription for Tylenol which they blanketly refused to fill for nearly a week, and told me to buy it over the counter. I tried to just explain that I have a feeding tube and the over the counter elixirs were full of sugars that would gum up the tube because they were intended to be drank by kids so they have to taste good. The pharmacist goes "Oh. Try again then I guess." And trying again was a NIGHTMARE. FOR DAYS. Over a *bottle of Tylenol.* Because they didn't want me to have it. My doctor had proof that she ::changed:: his prescription to say "IV Tylenol" at one point just so she could deny it and let me suffer. Nice.
My doctor *did* prescribe a controlled substance to treat my pain. As I said, I had major abdominal surgery. Well, after it got used up I called him for a refill. No problem. She told me she ordered it but then she told me I couldn't get it the day I showed up and it was supposed to be ready. She then tried to bargain with me over how much meds she would give me
"Oh, you won't even need this!" She told me.
How does she know? She doesn't even know what I had done. I'm still struggling a lot to move around and my pharmacy can't even get me a bottle of *Tylenol* for my feeding tube. The less rest I get, the longer healing takes.
Anyway, I only asked for one lousy refill, which my Dr. Didn't seem to think was so excessive or anything. Before she started grilling my husband over things like
"Will she need this long term??"
(No, just long enough to heal from my surgery, good grief!)
maybe she could just do her job? My husband is starting to have trouble too with getting his diabetes medicine to show up on time. And it really all started because I needed a special type of Tylenol for my Feeding tube.
Don't go to this branch. They're absolutely terrible. My husband tried talking to the pharmacist to smooth things over and see if we could fix whatever was going on but they're just so uncaring. You won't get anything as promised and if you need anything that's at all reasonable (like Tylenol) they get mad that you don't just buy a version that won't work for you. read more
