One of my docs and I had this "little" dilemma. He said " I'm not letting the insurance company tell me what's best for you. Can you hang tight a few weeks?" (It was a pain med.) I said "Hell, I've been biting on metal rods this long ... Sure ..." He got it done. I'm on the med he wanted me on.

Go to the pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions that are ready -- prescriptions I've been on for several years (this is important) ...
Pharm tech, who by all appearances does not identify with any biological gender: "Well you have 3 prescriptions ready, 3 you have called in and 2 that need to be reviewed and okay by your doctor right?"
Me, with a raging headache, literally so bad I am blind in my right eye, wondering why I don't just go ahead and blow my brains out and get it ovsr with: "No ... I didn't call anything in. My scripts are all on auto-refill. I have no clue about the 2 needing to be reviewed. I don't work here. I don't work at my doctor's office either."
Pharm tech: "Well let me have a chat with the pharmacist."
Me: "Sure" thinking to myself "Do I have a choice??"
Pharm tech: "Ok. I only have 3 prescriptions ready. Do you want to wait and pick EVERYTHING up in a couple of days? Come inside and wait for us to fill what we can? Or just go ahead and pick up the 3 that are ready now and come back in a couple of days for the rest of them?"
Me:"Let me just get what is ready to go. PLEASE."
Pharm tech: "Okay. If you will give me just a few minutes to gather them up I will be right back with you. Hang on ... It will just take me a few minutes to gather them up. There are 3 of them. Okay?"
Me:
Pharm tech: "Ok can I verify your address? Your total today will be $5. Is that okay? You want to pick these 2 (yes 2 not 3 that it has rambled on about for 20 minutes now) prescriptions today?"
Me:
Pharm tech: After it has my debit card "Oh wait. This has a pharmacist consult on it. I'll be right back. In just a minute."
Me: This is why Charles climbed the clock tower.
Pharm tech: "Ok. You do understand that you are not supposed administer this ketorolac to yourself, right?"
Me: OMG"FINE!"
It hands me back my card and TWO prescriptions, not 3 and with that snippy Karen voice says "Well! Have a nice day, ma'am!"
OMG ... I don't call in scripts. They are on auto refill. None of my scripts were out of refills and I haven't seen any docs lately so there was nothing to be called in. I got a notification from Walgreen's that I had ONE script ready -- not the 3 it chatted about at length or the 2 it finally gave me. And I am not sure why Walgreen's will dispense medication AND syringes and needles and then tell me I am not allowed to inject myself. Go figure ...
I absolutely hate going to the Walgreen's drive through pharmacy for reasons like this . . .
Thankfully things have been better for us since we have moved to Express Scripts and can now get everything mailed to us . . . soooo nice.
Had an armadillo dig up a plant. Tried to pick it up, but it was " uncooperative". Should I just shoot it? I'm passive. Would not like to kill it. It is kind of cute.
They are a nuisance animal that causes a lot of destruction.
Shoot it is my vote.
Express Scripts FTW! So easy and great prices.
They can carry diseases too like leprosy.
I like walmart. Rx anywhere I travel, app tells me when they're ready for pickup, and the bring em to my truck when I get there.
They bring them out to you like grocery pick-up?
