Over 100,000 DEATHS a year from illegal fetenyl, funding gangs, criminals, MURDERERS, crossing the open border, and funding the most EVIL activities imaginable...
BUT
Pay $300 a visit even with excellent medical insurance because I've been so grateful to have found a pain management doctor that doesn't treat me like a heroin addict, not that I'm claiming to be "better" than that stereotype, and get a legal Rx.
Then
Because the ONE pharmacist who gives a shit about his customers is on vacation, NONE of the other pharmacists know how to or can't be bothered to order enough or order in the way the one on vacation does to have ANY oxy in stock.
Oh-if only they knew first hand what being physically dependent, for pain management and to prevent withdrawals was like.
So since the usual location I use of the national chain is out, the circus begins.
I was fortunate to find one of the 3 stores in the chain actually had 15s in stock, because I've had to get half as many 30s and cut them in half, just because the Roulette wheel landed on "15" instead of "30" this day.
Next is call the doctor's office, and leave a detailed message: Please move e-Rx to this location, AND change from 60 x 30s to 120 x 15s.
Oh, and I have another 24 x 30s, or 48 x 15s that have to be split on a 2nd Rx because my insurance won't cover more than the 60 or 120 each month, and I use GoodRx to reduce the cost of the smaller script.
That was at 9:15 AM this morning.
Finally around 6:30 PM I see the doctor's office fixed a mistake where they had changed the 60/30s to 120/15s, but completely ignored the new location.
By the time I see this, naturally the office is closed, and the insurance company needs a prior authorization (per the pharmacy) which of course couldn't be requested of the doctor's office until tomorrow.
So I give up on insurance covering it, and I am a Gold GoodRx member, and that will save me another $20.
So instead of paying $10 using my medical insurance, because I have no idea when there may be someone at my doctor's office to process the PA, I call the pharmacy to give them my info.
The last insult?
The person on the phone looks up my info, and then asks me about the quantity and mg of both pain meds I'm prescribed EVERY month for YEARS, and makes some shitty comment about "I don't know if "they" (whoever "they" are) will flag that amount.
After getting that blade between my ribs, she went ahead and took the info, and I'm going to get what usually costs $10 for $60, and it's 7 PM.
It's disgusting what pain management patients have to go through, but the fentanyl just POURS in, enriching killers and otherwise horrible criminals, and in the meantime, I and others like me get treated like the fentanyl pushers should.
