It's A Bad Sign When Your Doctor is Laughing At You
Summer has been pretty damn awesome up until today, which was sort of epic fail day. I called up my pharmacy to ask why my prescriptions weren't being processed after weeks of requests, and got this little surreal conversation:
Me: Hello, I'd like to ask about my Lantus insulin prescription. I've called it in three times and haven't heard back.
Pharmacy Tech: OK *checks info and finds records* Here it is.
Me: So, can I renew this?
Pharmacy Tech: Nope.
Me: Nope?!
Pharmacy Tech: Yeah, we faxed in the request to your doctor's office and someone wrote "NOPE" on it. N-O-P-E. It was actually sort of funny. We were all talking about it. *laughs*
Me: . . .
Pharmacy Tech: *laughter fades*
Me: So, I guess I need to talk to a doctor.
Pharmacy Tech: Yeah . . .
Me: *hangs up and slams head into wall repeatedly*
So much for medical professionals. It took another hour, approximately 40 minutes of irritating elevator music, and five different phone numbers to get things straightened out, and by then I was pretty much hysterical. So I went to the store and tried on winter coats for a few hours. Also, my head hurts.
In other news, I'm quite ready to move out of here and into my hypothetical mansion in Davis.
