> Every month I end up playing the game of "will they have my medicine?" and regularly have to drive around different pharmacies to find one that can fill the prescription that day (because they only fill one every thirty days, and there is exactly a thirty day supply given, so there is zero buffer)
This is an utterly absurd situation - surely the people coming up with this stuff must realise this?
If anything, stupidity like this could actually cause more people to go to the black market.
- alasdair_ 6y agoIt is deeply annoying for me. What is genuinely enraging however, is when my son runs out and we can’t get him his medicine. His symptoms are honestly pretty bad and he is aware of them but can’t do anything about it. Hearing him ask “daddy, why can’t I have my medicine?” is both heartbreaking and enraging. In the end, we asked the doctor, who agreed to issue us a slightly different prescription for him a few days after we filled the first one. This let us get the second prescription Refilled immediately so we thankfully have a small buffer for him now. Laws like this are bullshit.
