Alright, so some of you might remember about my little rant on Miss Switch. Her full story is also located in my blog.
Well she called back the other day to get one of her scripts filled, but wanted it filled for ninety days instead of thirty. Whatever, good, no problem. When someone is first starting on a medication, the doctor will write the prescription for ninety days, but tell them to only fill a month so they're not stuck with excess medication if they're taken off it.
It's not until I start poking around her profile a bit that I realize that her doctor had not written for a ninety day supply, so I could only fill for thirty. It's the law, I have to abide by it. The pharmacist is even awesome enough to leave a message with her doctor's office to get authorization for ninety days, because as he said, "Not seeing her for three months would be wonderful."
She comes in, we haven't heard back yet, so I then have to explain that her doctor didn't write it that way, so we were only legally allowed to fill for thirty.
"Well why can't you? I had six refills on this prescription, so I don't see why I can't just get however much I want!"
"Because that's the law, ma'am. If the doctor doesn't okay it, then we can't do it."
"Well fine, then! I'm not getting my blood pressure up any more than I already have! I'll get my shopping done then come back."
Sure enough, we still haven't heard back by the time she's done, and I just let the pharmacist deal with her before I slap her. She left without the meds, telling us to call her when her doctor calls us. Fine, whatever, just fucking LEAVE.

What does this have to do with fluffy teal hoodies? I just got one, and it makes me happier than thinking about this wench.
