So, today the saga continued. Same prescription which I called in Friday evening and, since it had expired, they had to call the doctor, yada, yada, and it would be ready 5:00 last night.
I called yesterday afternoon around 1:30 and the computer phone voice checked and said it wasn't ready (was calling to make sure they'd get hold of the doctor, unlike last time. This is my asthma meds I actually need) so then I called at 3:30, computer says still not ready so I let them connect me to a live person, she checks and "oh, yes, I have it here". So, I'm relieved and have been doing better so figure I could wait until this morning to pick it up, I had enough of the old for last night.
This morning we go to breakfast at the Toddle House and then the the drugstore. They have one cannister of Albuterol instead of three like they usually do. I get ready to complain but I see my doctor in 2 weeks so I figure I'll just get a new prescription or something from him then. First one cannister forever, then two (once) then three forever, then they change the wording/quantity to the "17" useless amount and "all you have to do" is peel off the label to get the useful labeling of 200 puffs.
So, we leave with the one cannister and I start reading this label in full and first thing I notice is they have my doctor's name instead of the nurse practitioner's name who prescribed it a year and a half ago. Finally :-) So that's probably why they changed the amount too. Too bad no one anywhere let me know so I could be in on what's happening?
