Yes. That's EXACTLY what he said. I just got off the phone with him because I asked the pharmacist, who assured me that it COULD be done. NOW, the doctor says that he WAS told in the class that he couldn't write refills and that perhaps there is a "new law" that allows for it, but it's not his practice to do so. I replied that if that's his practice, it's definitely his prerogative.
But, honestly, it's a crock of sh!t! WHY? My appointment was scheduled a week early because he's going away. Today, I was told that I would have to come back in 10 days. WHY????? My appointment was moved up a week because of his trip. Well.... if they didn't move my appointment up, it would have only been three days before I would have to come back again. So.... I'm getting to pay an extra $48.00 to see him and then another $10.00 prescription co-pay for a freakin' THREE DAYS!!!!
I might be coming across p!ssed. Well, that's because I AM very p!ssed! I guess month-long vacations can be a bit expensive. But, I would think that a psychiatrist makes enough for his vacation without my measly extra $48.00 (plus script cost that I will pay but he won't get). What also ticks me off is that, because I'm seeing him in ten days, today's appointment was nothing more than to write my script for ten days. I guess that I can consider that
being closely watched. Still, even that's a crock of sh!t. I've been an ideal patient. This sucks. It just plain sucks to be treated like this.
