We should have a sticky for doctors rants.
I've always been pretty happy with my doctors, but I knew it was only a matter of time.
I saw my endo in June, my third time in a year. My prescriptions had run out at the same time, so I asked him for new ones. He upped my ACE at the same time.
Now in the past all my scripts have been for a year, always. You'd think if they were for only three months someone would tell me. Right. So I order my last refills and my pharmacists tells me there are no more. Huh? Ya, he only gave me three months worth and never told me. No one told me. I phone his office to see if he can send in new scripts and to find out when he wants to see me again, he usually calls, and after a week or more of telephone tag, I find out he sent notes to my GP to refill them.
So I phone my GP. "He can't see you untill February, but the nurse practitioner can on Nov 8th" Oh, when I did this it was just for my ACE. I just found out about the insulin today. Pharmacy gave me one bottle to hold me over. I have enough for maybe two weeks. Now I have to spend most of Monday trying to get an insulin script. They'll probably want to charge me $25 for phoning it in. I'll tell them to charge my ****ing endo.
Breaking in a new nurse practioner should be fun. I'm actually looking forward to that.
