well...
the pharmacists here... SUCK...
they think they're gods of medicines...
for example...
there are 3 pharmacies in hartsville...
a local mom & pop drug store... walmart... rite aid? something like that... bought out eckerds...
anyway...
a pharmacist should have common sense... and when something is fishy... they should look into it.
but these demigods of dope are just plain idiots...
my mom and dad are pretty heavily medicated... mom went through 6 months of chemo and radiation... dad has type 2 diabetes...
we started out at eckerds... mom needed a certain medication... more or less a 'pre-chemo' medicine that basically would get her body propared for the treatments... simple but vital perscription... 5 pills... pharmacists takes it upon himself to tell her that it was his opinion that she only needed 1 pill... after he had a nice long talk with the doctor... mom got 4...
alright...
but then this same pharmacist gets power hungry... wants more control...
mom starts treatments... the SURGEN gives mom a perscription for pain killers... with several refills... because... this is going to be a year long set of treatments...
eckerd pharmacist will only give half the pills... and refuses to give refills... stating that that doctor wrote no refills...
this goes on several times... it got to the point where mom would make a copy of the script... and when the pharmacist would say "the script said no refills" she'd pull out the copy and show him the 5 marked under refills or whatever the number was...
so we stop going there... on to the mom & pop place!
they were nice... at first...
then they started asking questions... and giving us mean glares when we went there... i dont think they liked us...
they started doing the same thing... giving us only half filled perscriptions... and these arnt persciptions for like... xanax or oxycontin... this is blood preasure medicines... insulin... various meds for mom's treatments... so i mean... its not like we were getting high off of this crap or selling it on the streets...
during this time i started on paxil... which is an antidepressant... and its not something you can just stop... once you take it... you're pretty much stuck on it... and you have to ween off it for several weeks...
well... they gave me not quite half the written perscription... and refused to give the rest...
WITHDRAWS ARE HORRIBLE.
but they couldnt care less...
ok! so on to the last place... walmart...
and they were GREAT.
we actually got what the doctors wanted us to have.
but then they brought in a new pharmacist... who is just plain evil.
she would give my dad his insulin... but refuse to give him the needles...
and then would give the needles... but not the insulin...
that merits a nice big "WHAT THE HELL?!?!"
then mom got some sinus medicine... the pharmacist basically did everything she could to keep mom from getting it... she even brought in the insurance company to back her up...
so no sinus meds.
now... mom's on alot of stuff...
the treatments caused some complications and nerve damage...
she now gets pain killers about once a month.
its not even a major pain killer... i think its vicodin...
well... today this walmart pharmacist from hell decided mom had had enough.
so she calls the doctor saying my mom's been on this pain medicine for about a year... and that she's thinking about reporting my mom to DHEC...
DHEC???
what the hell does the department of health and enviromental control have to do with this?
it bears repeating...
WHAT THE HELL!?
if the doctors didnt think mom should have these medicines... they wouldnt perscribe them...
they're the doctors...
they should know...
not some med school drop out jack off thats mad at the world.
and if you're a pharmacist or thinking of becoming one and are offended by my little rant...
SCREW YOU.
if i ever see you, i'll punch you in the throat.
and on a side note...
my uncle lost the election...
turns out the other canidate had people calling voters and telling them my uncle was a member of the kkk (which he is not... and in a primarily black voter area that didnt go over so well... )... and other told everyone if they had voted before... they cant vote again... and again... more BS...
but mudslinging works... byrd is a liar and a political puppet... the powers that be in this county wanted someone they could control... and thats what they got.
both tactics worked though...
frist vote... alot of people voted... and my uncle lost by less than 20 votes...
second vote... hardly anyone voted... i think in one area out of around 700 votes only about 40 voted...
my uncle lost by 70%...
my uncle was chief deputy for 12 years... and during that time alot of progress was made... all patrols cars got cameras... all officers got tazers and personal cameras... several drug dogs... and crime has pretty much been on the decline...
byrd (the mudslinger...) is chief deputy in some backwater town... lamar maybe?
well... he has no management background whatsoever... to the point that his own sheriff refused to leave him in charge and would leave one of the lieutenants in charge when he'd go off...
his whole campaign was made up of 2 things... mudslinging and telling everyone how horrible the state of the darlington county sheriff's deparment was in... which isnt true... at all...
he really played on the whole "CHANGE!" thing...
his plan is to go in and basically remove everything and everyone from before... and bring in his own hand picked department...
which basically means... fire the veteran deputies and hire buddies inexperienced children as favors...
now a friend pointed out that thats typical politics and the presidents do it all the time...
well... yeah... i guess they do...
but the president and his cronies have pretty much nothing to do with me...
sure they take my money... but thats basically it...
where as now our local well being is going to be in the hands of... some highschool drop out upperclass silver spooned yokels...
predictions for 09...
crime will run rampant in darlington county...
people will call on the deputies for help... but they'll be too busy selling pot on alphabet hill to answer the call...
and i give byrd a year after january 1st.
i'm guessing he'll get caught with his pants down bent over taking bribes... prison style.
PS...
YOU NEED HATE BY THE DELGADOS!!!!!!
YOU NEEEEEEEED IT.
