It seems only fair that if a week began badly it should end the same way. If I apply that reasoning to this past week, then that means my theory works out perfectly.
Monday I called my pharmacy to get refills on three medications; two antibiotics and one anti-anxiety medication. I was told if there was a problem, they would call back in 15 minutes. I did not receive any call.
Wednesday I went in to get the medications and was told two of them did not have a refills authorized. They said they ask the doctor for refills on Monday, but not heard anything as of yet. Thursday I called the medication services and explained my situation, and they said they would authorize the medications. I called the pharmacy again and told them what I had learned. The medication was mailed to me and I received it yesterday. Instead of the three that I had ordered, there was only one. Now I have to do battle again beginning on Monday.
There is nothing that matches incompetence -- and as it is just plain old stupidity. I'm not sure which one comes into play here, either the doctors staff or the pharmacy staff.
Anticipating that something like this would occur, I had put away a few anti-anxiety tablets just in case there was a problem. Now I'm glad I did. At least my whole weekend won't be ruined.
