Out of Order

After visiting my doc yesterday, I headed off to Walgreens to pick up my antibiotic and decongestants (a massive upper respiratory infection set in sometime Sunday); the amoxicillin wasn’t a problem, but they said they were out of the pseudoephedrine/guaifenesin stuff that works so well.  Yesterday, they told me it would be in today.

Today, they said it’s on back-order, and suggested I call my doctor for a substitution.

I suggested that I’d sooner call my doctor and have him call in the scrip to Kroger instead — wouldn’t that make more sense?  Actually, it would have been a good thing to just get a written prescription, except that calling it in is probably one of the things they now do to keep it out of the hands of meth-makers.

  1. Maybe a crock but the incidence of methamphetamine use has declined considerably based on my experience. That is not a crock, but a good thing, trust me.

  2. NM,

    You should have requested an injection to get you jump started. I had to do that three times once for each of the last three upper’s. Had chonics for about two years and finally appear to have been rescued.
    Get to feeling better soon. A week with those kids would have worn down the Incredible Hulk.
