Quick version: I got refills on my billions of scripts right before I moved from IC so I didn't have to deal with finding a new dr right away. (I get one month at a time, but have 6-12 refills on them). I got refills when I was visiting my folks in Ohio. So today, I go to the Walgreens here to get them. Turns out, you can't "transfer" prescriptions more than once since one of them is a "controlled substance" (Ambien). The pharmacy tech was a complete jerk and was 100% treating me like a junkie. I was really mad, things were getting heated, etc. He said I would need to contact a physician to get new scripts. I said, "I am a physician." He said, "Is that so." I said, "Yes." He asked for proof, which I of course didn't have on me. That just made it worse because he was acting like I was lying about being a doc to get drugs (99% of which are non-controlled heart meds).
End result: I don't have any medicine and run out in two days. 😡 I am going to write a complaint to Walgreens basically just about that guy's attitude, their policy, and treating me like a junkie for absolutely no reason.
