My psych cancelled on me for the second time, today. The first got cancelled over a month ago and I had to wait until today, well this one got cancelled to, I know that it is because of the bad snow we got but still! I am out of meds and I have to hold out until this monday in the hopes I don't get cancelled on again!
 Just needed to rant.

When you see him have him do a 5x refill just in case.

When the secretary for my pdoc calls to reschedule, I tell her I really need to see him because he is so stacked up that it is about 4 months between appointments. She will then either fit me in or put me on the list for first cancellation, or she says never mind and moves another patient. Pdoc now has hired a NP and she will see me between appointments with him. I was worried that he was not going to see him any more, but she explained her role to me.
I am so grateful for pdoc's wonderful secretary for her concern and understanding. I really think developing and keeping a good relationship with office staff is essential.

Pdoc's should always be willing to give you a refill on meds if they are cancelling appts .. Some Pdocs wont do so if the patient is always missing appointments that another story .. My Pdoc always makes sure I have at least 1 or 2 extra refills on mymeds ... altho over the 3+ years he has never cancelled an appt ,,I know I am lucky .
Make sure you get at least 1 extra refill between appts.

You should be able to go to your GP or local ER to get a refill, too. You can even go to a walk-in clinic. I've had to do that when I've run out by accident (Pdoc didn't give me enough refills/she cancelled or I cancelled).
Just bring your old bottles as proof of what you're on and what dose and figure out how many days you actually need and ask for only that. I've never had a problem with getting refills from a GP, walk-in-clinic, or ER. |
