A friend of mine in another state (PA), I am in SC. She told me a story that happened to her and the more I thought about it the madder I became. I mean, its bad enough that INSURANCE COMPANIES TRY TO PLAY "DOCTOR" BY DENYING CERTAIN PRESCRIPTIONS! But she told me a doctor phoned in her prescription, and when she went to pick it up (on a Friday) the pharmacist told her he was NOT going to fill it! The Rx was by HER DOCTOR, and was APPROVED by her INSURANCE CO. WHAT RIGHT DOES THIS PHARMACIST HAVE TO DENY WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY HERS? She asked him "when" she could get it. He replies "MONDAY" AND SHE SAID TO HIM, "OK, MONDAY MORNING?" HIS REPLY WAS: "NO, MONDAY AFTERNOON!" This is my best friend in another state, and I was VERY UPSET THAT SHE WAS DENIED HER MEDICATION!!! SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THIS??? DID ANYONE EVER HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. I AM REALLY CURIOUS AS TO WHERE THE PHARMACIST GETS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE HER MEDS??? PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND, SO I CAN RELAY TO HER.
