Hey there everybody. I regrettably have to move this over to Drug Culture, as I don't really think that this is an issue that pertains directly to Harm Reduction. I totally think that this is an important issue, as we have sort of discussed in your last thread FF. Pharmacists are a lot like doctors. If you deny the possibility that their ego could play a role in how they practice, you have a poor understanding of how humans are. There are a lot of great doctors, pharmacists, scientists in general and so on, but there are also people with personality defects who will undoubtedly develop an inflated sense of self-worth as they are the gate-keepers for all of these drugs.
There is nothing wrong with going elsewhere dude. If your doctor understands the situation completely like you're saying, that prescription should be fillable by somebody, somewhere. Again, like we were discussing in the other thread, I've been through this just like I'm sure a huge portion of Bluelight has at one point or another. If you're honest and up front:
"I feel very disrespected. My doctor has verified that this is acceptable. I'm taking my business elsewhere, as that is my right" Pharmacists have a certain level of discretion, sure, but at the end of the day, a prescription is a doctor giving an order to the pharmacist and its unprofessional for that pharmacist to do anything other than fill it. This is all after they've made their calls, checked x, y and z Prescription Monitoring Programs etc.
If everything is completely and entirely on the level here like you're saying (I'm not condescending or implying anything here) than I would recommend getting it transferred to the retail pharmacy of your local hospital if applicable. In my experience, they are typically less lenient in terms of trying to say, get Opioids 3 days early, but if a doctor says in no uncertain terms that this is what they want, than I really think the hospital Rph's are your best bet.
