So the dept. head endo called me yesterday as I was driving home from work to explain what happened.

When I noticed the note on my Px bottle of thyroid medication, I sent him and his nursing team a message asking why he wrote that note. His "excuse" yesterday was that there was an auto refill error.

The reason I know it's a lie, is because prior to this month, this "error" of his authorizing "no refills" never happened in the 20+ years of me refilling my thyroid medication.

So, I agree with someone above who suggested that he cut me off b/c he wanted me to come in for TSH labls etc. to justify changing my thyroid prescription. His excuse yesterday to blame it on the auto refill pharmacy is total bulls*h%t and he knows it. He just doesn't think I know it.

After he called me, I called and spoke to the pharmacist and asked if that was a real error and was told no, it wasn't. So, yeah. He lied. I'm still going to find a new endocrinologist through my new GP. It will just take her writing me a referral to see a new endocrinologist.

Only doctors can write the "no authorization to refill" on a Px. The pharmacy doesnt automatically do that with overdue prescriptions. Just how dumb does this asshat think I am.
