 You two are just far too kind. Phil, enjoy the beach! The doctor's appointment was the beginning of some misadventures Friday and yesterday. My GI doc wants more tests to check the status of my Crohn's, but will have to wait for the approval of the insurance company. He did send a prescription in for a generic form of Prilosec to help with re-flux. Friday morning I had also called my GP for prescriptions for Potassium and Venaflaxine. Yesterday morning I went to the pharmacy o pick these three up. On arrival, I showed my ID and insurance card. At first they said there were no prescriptions for me. Then they said they couldn't find them. Then they said I had already picked them up at 9:18 yesterday morning. When I told them neither I nor anyone acting on my behalf had picked these up, they informed the pharmacist. They said nothing further to me. After 20 minutes of being ignored, I left. I called them and asked for the pharmacist. She said they were all ready. It was too late to go back before Monday. So, I am contacting their employers, the Agency for Health Care Administration, the insurance commissioner's office, the Florida Consumer Protection Agency, OSHA and about three other groups to report a potentially deadly medication error. I don't play nicely about these things. Other than that, I'm fine. I hope you are as well. May I be guided to accept others who may differ from me and always separate opinion from fact. I insist that others put the benefit of the group before anything else, regardless of a well meaning agenda. If what you say is a fact, you can back it up. If not, it's opinion and should be called that. The safety of members is paramount.
Only our weaknesses give us real strength.
Only our failures grant us victories.
