Wags

1.4.2kXII

Has anyone - ever - gotten a prescriptio transmitted from their doc to a pharmacy and was IMMEDIATELY available for pickup when they went to pick it up? I doubt it.

I experienced such a situatio just the other day: The doc transmitted Ez's cough meds scrip to my local RiteAid. I asked the doc if by zapping it over meant it would be ready when I got there. "In theory," she said. I had my doubts.

And with good reason. I took Ez out for pancakes after being such a good boy a the doc. Then we went to the park. Only after these couple hours did we go to the pharmacy and, just for yucks, went to the pickup window. Of course some pilgrim stepped into line just in front of us and of course Ez wanted to look at, touch, play with or eat everything on the shelves around us, so we immediately had a built-in wait, regardless of whether the scrip was ready. It was not ready.

Apparently they received the transmissio , but had done nothing about it. It was as if I had handed them a written prescriptio . "Have a seat, it will be a while," the pharmacist said. "I'll be at Ralph's," I said, "Twenty minutes should do?" "Sure," she replied. She might well have said, "Suuuuuuuuuuuure," as of course, it still wasn't ready.

Order pizza from a website and some pizzeria will bring you a pie. Order LEGOS® online and they'll bring yr stuff to yr door. Electronic transmissio s of orders are like breathing these days. What's the problem with filling scrips? Why the built-in wait?

My life is not w/o fireworks, eh?

Tonight - Homestead.
