Default My Prescriptions Are WHERE?

I'm at the docs office yesterday and was told I need 3 prescriptions filled and was asked "Do you want me to electronically send them in for you?" I said sure and specified what pharmacy. This was 2 PM. At 5 PM I called the pharmacy & still nothing received from the docs office. Pharmacy said to call back at 8 PM because sometimes at the COB they fax all orders at once. Whatever....8 PM call to pharmacy nuttin.

This morning I called the docs office..... records said I was given prescriptions. BS....The office was informed that NO I'd never received the scrips and they were "supposedly" sent electronically. Docs office apologized and said they made a mistake and would call the pharmacy right away. I said I'd be in to get the scrips from the docs office and deliver them myself. They assured me they'd be called into the pharmacy. I reluctantly said OK. 1 hour later I picked up my scrips from the pharmacy.

A word of advice - Hand carry your scrips to the pharmacy of your choice to ensure they're received. Oh yeah & last May my scrips were sent to the wrong pharmacy. Another reason to hand carry & deliver the scrips yourself especially if the pharmacy is near your home.

Ya can't make this stuff up.

Life is good. Cold but no snow.
