"No Alarms, and No Surprises..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

The psychiatrist messed up my prescription again, which means I am once more living on the pharmacy's charity while I wait for her to be back in her office again. This is one of the most intensely frustrating recurring experiences of my life, because it is so hard for me to get to the pharmacy in the first place, and then having everything be wrong when I get there is hard, and trying to work out what the actual problem is--

She sent in my old prescription, not my new one, so they filled the prescription I was getting in the middle, which will... give me enough medicine for a week, after which I will have to go and pay ALL OVER AGAIN to get my new prescription filled, so I'll be paying for the same scrip twice, in essence, and there's nothing I can do about that because the insurance company will no longer pay for my old prescription and the pharmacy isn't authorised to front me this medicine -- unlike my migraine med, which they did front me, because I forgot to check my scrip and so didn't notice that I had no refills left, so that at least was entirely my fault. That doesn't make me mad, because it was me being careless that made it happen. But when it's the psychiatrist's fault, I just get so upset because she should know how important it is that I actually take my medicine on time and such.

The last time this happened, she sent my prescription in to a pharmacy I don't even use, and when I called her panicking because my pharmacy didn't have my scrip she said it must be my fault and i was doing something wrong.

I just. She is the only person at the school's health and wellness programme who has ever failed me so consistently and seriously, and she's one of the few people I will be glad never to see again when I graduate. Eugh.

ANYWAY. No more complaining. Remember that my fundraiser for raanve is still going on! Share with your friends!

You won't be the only patient she's fucking up. Complain in writing.

I did complain to my therapist, and she made frowny faces and then had the Health and Wellness centre pay for my refills, which isn't what I meant for her to do, but is kind of a relief anyway.

Ugh, I hate wrangling with pharmacies and prescriptions. What a pain in the ass. So sorry you have to deal with that, and I hope you're able to get it all sorted out as soon as possible. <3333

My therapist is the best therapist in the WORLD. And she got the wellness centre to pay for the prescription, even though it's not really the wellness centre's fault, it's kind of the psychiatrist's fault, but still.

Since she has done it before and has not had the behavior properly corrected, the liability does fall at least in part on the centre; they can't permit the constant repetition of such drastic mistakes.

oh I GUESS you're right. I just feel bad, because she isn't really... idk, she only comes into the centre once a month? She has her own practise elsewhere. So she's more like affiliated than actually an employee, and I feel bad because everybody who actually works there on a regular basis is totally awesome.
