Well, today, the CVS only had half my prescriptions and driving around to the other locations, I picked up the rest. Um. These are from the same doctor. Those of you who have lived a long life dealing with drugs, big Pharma, and Big Insurance, why would a medical facility do this? It seems rather inane.
Better yet, the CVS in the Target closes down for lunch every day, so it looks like a giant warehouse protected by metal doors. I walked around the store for 45 minutes while the pharmacist finished his lunch and the line to get to the counter took another 45 minutes. Is this normal, too?
I remember the days of customer care and service, and I suppose our nation has simply given up on having any respect, personal relationship, or kindness over simple processes like picking up a medical prescription. I will say the pharmacist smiled at the old man ahead of me when he didn't know how to use his debit card in the machine. "WHY THE HELL HAS MY PRESCRIPTION GONE UP $30 DOLLARS," he asked behind squeaking hearing aids. "WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY COUNTRY?"
The scholar in me is fascinated by this as my medical doctors have been telling me their side of the corporate greed pharmaceuticals and insurance companies have over customers and medical facilities. None of it makes sense to me and I know it's suppose to keep me alive longer to do pills middle age, but the whole thing drives me batty. Are we so sheepish that we don't unite to fight this silliness? I mean, playing CVS whack-a-mole to find my prescriptions simply seems silly.
TGIF. I need my blood pressure medicine.
