Florida working on fix to pain pill shortage

This is in response to a woman in a sling having to go to 14 different pharmacies in order to get a prescription filled.
There will be another meeting in Deerfield beach in August and apparently the DEA is talking about attending. I hope that this will be the beginning of a meaningful solution to what we as CP patients have to endure.
If I hear of anything I will keep you advised.

I don't think a pharmacists has the right to criticise or question you or your Dr Jasmine and I also question the legitimacy of the argument that selling pain meds makes pharmacies a target for thieves- most of them carry thousands of dollars worth of other merchandise which presumably also has to be protected from criminals.
Even now I am finding it's often better to self-pay for a specialist rather than wrangle with United Healthcare. I saw one Dr a few months back and it was$100 if I just paid, $320 since I tried to use my I surance- who refused to pay.
yeah your pharmacist was just an ass with no right to do what he did. he has no responsibility if you were to go offtrack and become a drug addict...you have scripts signed by your dr.'s, they have no, reason to act like that, NONE! Sounds like his ego is getting the better of him and he's just irked because he didn't have good enough grades to get into med school so now this is the close he can get to playing Dr.
I'd definitely lodge a complaint with his Manager and also with the State Pharmacy Board.
