Hycor ointment 0.5% and 1%

Lost-case doctor does it again.

She writes a script for Siguet Hycor Ointment 0.5% which was discontinued like 5-6 years ago. So I give her a call

Me: Dr, the hycor ointment 0.5% was discontinued 5-6 years ago. Only the 1% is available.

Dr: Are you sure? He said he only got it a few weeks ago. He showed me the old packet. 

Me: I'm looking at the old packet he is holding...... it says 1% 

Dr: Oh change it to 1% then.

Does she not know it was discontinued? Its been so many years. Especially when the patient has brought in an old packet, where you can actually LOOK at it. She can't seem to differentiate between 0.5% and 1%. 

Again, its another example that she is a doctor that prescribes whatever the patient tells her to prescribe without thinking or questioning. We need to get rid of doctors like that. *sigh*
