So I am on some meds after having a stoke in November. I had my drugs which some are critical that I must take for life. I had 8 pills left but had an hospital appointment with a head nurse, so I thought she would renew. Get to hospital for review of swallowing and nurse is on holidays so she cant renew prescription or authorize removal of my chest feeding tube that I haven't used in over 24 days or get me a second prescription. So I go home and try to call the doctors clinic, main number has automated message, to busy to answer phone. When Im there the phone rings they don't even look at it anymore, typical of our new do nothing part of this generation. So it goes to leave a message for your doctor assistant, so through the menu, left a message, did this four times so far each day, Nothing. Phoned the pharmacy she was better and was going to give me one month of crucial meds less gabapentin as that is controlled. She sent a fax to there office where it was returned DO NOT prescribe any drugs to our patient he must come in for renewals. Probably someone sitting at a desk. So pharmacist says she cannot help me. Had to book on line and first appointment is on May 6 in afternoon. So for the meantime do I hold let all meds expire in my system and pray that I have no issues and nerve pain doesn't drive me to crazy. Nope, I called my mom who has some of one drug just 30 mg and mine is 10 so I can cut in half then my fried that has MS has the stomach drug ad gabapentin that he will lend me so im covered but what about other people what do they do. I learned a few things, get more drugs, get 2 month supply next time, well demand which I will. Also I know why I don't like going to hospital for outpatient services, well where do you park these days. Thank god for the shopping mall 3 blocks away. That's my rant for the week.
