I hate hannaford pharmacy. I always have. They are rude, they take too long for simple refills, and for some reason they think that even though a doctor gives you a script, they have the authority to say that you can't fill it! The ENT I saw on monday gave me a script of a few days wort of meds to see if they would work for me. Yesterday, I called his office to let him know that they were working and that I would need to refill the script today since I wouldn't see him again until tuesday. He had no problem and I picked it up. My normal pharmacy, which is rite aid doesn't carry this particular med, so reluctantly, I had to go to hannaford. We dropped it off and when I went to pick it up, the woman told me she wasn't going to fill it. Her reasoning is, that per the instructions you take 2 tabs every 4 hours for pain. Her math that means I should be taking 8 tabs at most. But what she didn't take into consideration is that yes, most people take meds over a 12 hour span of time, once in the morning, twice during the day, and once before bed. I on the other hand, only sleep in 2 - 3 hour increments, so I take them EVERY FOUR HOURS in a 24 hour period of time. So that means, I take 12 pills a day, a 24 hour day. 12 x 3 days is 36 pills. I was scripted 40 pills. But she said I should have only taken 24 pills, so I should still have 2 days worth of meds. I felt like I was talking to a wall. I tried to make her understand that a day is 24 hours, and some people don't only take meds from 8am until 8 pm, some people take them EVERY 4 HOURS for the ENTIRE 24 HOUR DAY! I explained that I am also using a solution that is used as a debridement tool, which is painful when something is breaking down any bacterial particles on a growth in your throat. She had no sympathy. This talking to a wall woman stated that she would call my doctors office to make sure that the prescription is valid and that the doctor really thinks it should be filled....Ok, so I handed you a script that is dated for today, filled out and signed by my doctor, but you need to call and make sure he really wanted me to fill it? Riiiight.....I am only to assume that she thinks I either forged the script or stole it.....Which pisses me off ever more! Why because I'm a 20 something year old, with tattoos and red streak in my hair, that means that I have a drug addict and am committing a serious federal crime by stealing a script.....Needless to say, I have not heard from my doctors office or the pharmacy. And this is why I took it to get refilled when I still had a few pills left, because if not, I would have run out and been one hell of a bitch! I just hope when the stupid "i make the rules" pharmacy lady calls my doctor he tells her how retarded she really is. He wouldn't give me a script if I shouldn't have it!
And this is why, I get my prescriptions filled at Rite Aid. They don't think they're god there. And they don't judge someone and assume anything about me, just because of the way I look.
