Not sure this is the right section, so mods feel free to move if necessary. So, my next refill date (Day 27 since last filled) for my hyrocodone was this Friday. I received a letter from [chain pharmacy] on Saturday saying that the rescheduling is effective tomorrow (10/6) and that all refills from scripts originally filled prior to that date would be cancelled (lost). Well, first of all, that's fucked up because the new law explicitly grandfathers the refills on scripts filled prior to the rescheduling (up through March or April of 2015). I know some States have overridden that provision, but mine is not one of them. I only had one refill remaining before my next office visit, but it would still be a major pain the ass to try to reschedule. This doc is hard to get in with.

Well, I called the pharmacy, and they said there was nothing they could do. They couldn't refill early without the docs go ahead, but today is Sunday, no way to get anyone to call in and tomorrow will be too late. I just figured I was fucked. I expressed my frustration, but was also polite and acknowledged that it wasn't this pharmacist's fault personally. End of story, or do I thought. About a half hour later, the pharmacist calls me, says he's been thinking about it, and that he'd be willing to fill it as it wasn't my fault and it was just kind of a tough situation all around. When I picked it up, he told me he helped me out because I was polite, whereas other customers have been real assholes. Lol, huge win!

 
And the lesson is? It pays to be polite :-).... Some of the people around here need to take a leaf out of your book Mr Crowley... The word 'civilised' is an alien concept to some folk and unfortunately that will never change...

However! Strike 1 for the good guys :-)

 
In the work I'm in, the clientele that interact with are not at their best physically or financially so it is understandable stress levels run high. (It is a little like social work). That sd, I AM there to help them even though I'm many time considered an adversary sometimes. I am always SO thankful when I happen to run across someone who is polite and understands that I am bound by rules and laws, much like this pharmacist. While I do my dead level best to be fair to each individual, I will go out of my way to help someone when they are considerate and not an ass.

One really does catch more flies with honey. Good for you Mr. C! Glad it worked out for you!

 
That is amazeballs! Great to hear a positive story when there are so few when it comes to this kind of thing.

 
Good to know. Tomorrow is the "big day" of unpleasant change. My refill of my whopping 5/325s should be ready...I was worried, but I actually got a call saying it was ready :)

  1. iamgroot @ iamgroot: Some customers were scammed by someone using a nearly identical email address. So I’m planning to change my email to one that uses my official website domain, so it can’t be easily copied and everyone can stay safe from scammers. Here is our new official email address from now on. support@mediattics.com
  2. fyjclol @ fyjclol: Also wondering what happened to the guy with the btc predictions. And +1 for fooseball
  3. L @ LW815: 90% of the time when I see it, it’s being used for exactly what it’s not supposed to be used for(with the exception of you and Layne talking fooseball)
  4. L @ LW815: I’d say it’s fair enough game to discuss whatever you wanna discuss(within the rules ofc) and if people don’t like it oh well. It’s not like the shoutbox is constantly popping off with other discussion lol
  5. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Well sorry if I bother anyone with my sports talk :) much love to all. Happy holidays.
  6. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Shout box is for sports, hey, Happy Thanksgiving. It’s not for those other things people like to bring up. Please use or start a thread in the appropriate place.
  7. L @ LW815: Better to push other worse discussions out of sight IMO and see random sport shit, but also kinda makes it hard to have that content removed if need be. I don’t know how to view the entire shoutbox recent history but I know it’s possible lol so it’s both a good and bad thing tbh
  8. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: exactly
  9. L @ LW815: I agree @Ketmaster but their lengthy sport discussions usually tend to happen at convenient times, like when somebody is talking about or asking things that the shoutbox also isn’t meant for(that are worse than random sport talks)
  10. Ketmaster @ Ketmaster: I appreciate the good vibes but I agree sports stuff should like be in a thread or PM or something, not a sports guy so it is kinda like wtf is happening people are messaging each other in a shoutbox
  11. T @ timyboy: Where is the guy with the BTC predictions?
  12. F @ Floaty: like them using the shout box tbh, its appreciated good vibes. Not sure if the box has another purpose seems like its the correct use though
  13. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I'll start a thread for us in the Sports section later this morning.
  14. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain Yeah I hated Canales' playcalling. Run the ball. That's what 9ers did since they knew it'd be that type of game. But at the same time, the panthers have a young core, and that was their biggest game in years lol. I understand MNF throwing off the passing game sync and shit just from being hyped up.
  15. L @ luquitoad: Yall should start a sports thread and keep it out of the shoutbox..... just a suggestion .
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: I don’t think we’ll be in prime time again anytime soon 😂
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: What a horrific game @tiquanunderwood seeiously embarrassing. Defense did their job Bryce the offense and Canales play calling has been atrocious
  18. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain legoooo panthers babbyyyyy
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Congrats!!! @tiquanunderwood 5 in a row to climb back into it is amazing… and @MCAJB6122 I agree 💯did not see that coming. Can’t recall the last time there was this much parity across the league it’s insane
  20. M @ MCAJB6122: Chicago at 8-3 has to be the surprise of the season so far
