Ugh, Hil. Can they call the Rx into the pharmacy so you could pick it up tonight?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Painkillers have to be a paper prescription.
I liked the first doctor I saw at this practice (the one you recommended, Steph), but then she moved to Mason or somewhere, so they had me start seeing someone else there, and it's this new person that I've been having issues with.

In Ohio, opioid painkiller Rxs have to be written on paper and picked up in person by the patient. Super annoying.

I think that's a federal law now. In Pennsylvania, my doctor used to be able to write the paper prescription and then mail it to me, but a few years ago, it changed, and I had to pick it up at the office.

That's right -- my mom had been seeing her for quite a while, and she told me that. I totally forgot! If there's any way you can see Dr. C., he's pretty good. (He's hesitant to prescribe sleep meds, but he readily prescribed pain meds when my back was injured.) Or even if it's something else like a sinus infection, he's really good and incredibly personable.

Man, I cannot keep up. It's a huge pain, is what it is.

I think that, when I first started there, I asked about Dr. C, and they said he wasn't taking new patients.

At my doctor's practice (and i think this is common in Canada) I can only get a prescription renewal with an office visit. My Dr. gives me and Rx for 6 months worth at a time so they can monitor my BP. Which is always high, unless they leave me alone with a BP True machine, because I get White Coat syndrome.

Opioid prescriptions can only be for a month at a time.

Same with Adderall. Not that I've heard ANYTHING about that getting filled. Plus I have to have another office visit before she will do the first refill. I'm guessing that is another insurance thing.

They have systems here for ePrescribing these, but they have a verification thing they do between the physician and pharmacy. They will also take phone calls from the practice. Super annoying for sure to have to pick up the paper script.
