She came in the other day to fill on her scripts as she was going overseas for 3 months. She's on Safetynet meaning she gets her meds for free. All she had in her hand were a bunch of old repeats. Now Medicare doesn't allow any early supplies to be covered under Safetynet if supplies are less than 21 days. So the key way to get around this is to get a new script from the doctor and tell him to endorse Reg24 on it. What was an easy straightforward process became so complicated.
I write a note to the doctor explaining to him what to do. Patient comes back with just 2 scripts. I have no idea why the doctor didn't write scripts for all her meds. Patient gets cranky at me for making her go back to the doctor. It's not even my fault. I wrote everything out but don't understand why doctor didn't follow it.
Then she wants discounts of everything she buys in the store. She doesn't want to pay the same price as anyone else even if it's heavily discounted.
Then she wants an owing on Codeine Linctus, which I can't give without a script especially for an S8 med. She gets cranky at me again and says I never help her out. She just doesn't understand some things I can't do because they are illegal.
Sigh* then she curses me the lowest of lows in her language and gets the scripts from the doctors anyway, which she could've done in the first place.
