My Name is XXX  XXX and I got your Email Address off the Web Site when I

Was searching for Pharmacist Whom would not fill My Prescription, I will tell you A little bit about myself

And what I have been going through in the last couple of years in RE: To My Prescription. The

Nightmare, Embarrassment, and the turn downs on not filling my Prescription, .

 As a Child I can remember having severe Headaches, So as I got older my headaches got worse, I had been to so so many Drs. And they could not find out

What was causing these severe Headaches, so my Family Dr  decided to do a spinal tap, well hmmm

Pressure on my brain was 420, Very high, so I was sent to neurosurgeon, Dr Dusseau in turn had diagnosed me with Hydrocephalus/Arnold Chari, So my Dr said that I needed a Shunt in my brain to drain the Fluid, okay let’s do this when hmmmm one week later I end up in the Emergency Room 

I could not Stand the pain, to make a long story short, I ended up having 12 Shunt revisions on my Brain because the Stunts just would not work on my Condition (Sad) my last and final shunt had gotten infected some how so I was in Intensive Care for 48 hours to drain the  infection off my Brain,

So I said No more Stunts I will try and Love with the pain, (And just take pain medication), On top of all this I was in motorcycle acct at young age and lost my left heel, so after all these years not able to walk right due to No Heel it has caused so much back pain, I have RA Arthritis and so many more problems,

So my question is why in the World do I get treated like I’m a Junkie, I take one Medication for my Pain not 2-3-4, One, I’m sorry I’ve had to take A 12 hour med this last Month because I cannot get my Prescription filled, My Pain Management Dr has been sending Electronic Prescription to Publix every 2 weeks because they will not fill one Month Supply, I had gone to Walgeens last month to get my 

Prescription Filled and the Pharmacist re fused my script and said not only will I not fill your script but No other Walgreens will fill it either,  I said what are you the spokes person for Walgreens, I’m crying because I’m just beside myself that I’m getting treated this way, ,So I thought well I have humma Ins

I will have my Dr sent script by Mail Order, so I wait wait no Prescription came so I called the Pharmacist 

To see what was going on with my Prescription and the Tech says the Pharmacist has used his Judgement not to Fill your Prescription, I was like the Pharmacist has what he is not my Dr this is a legit Script  he really has No right to make that Judgement Call, Mr Steve I could continue to type you more but I think that you get what I’m saying, These Pharmacist are playing Dr and they do not have a License to do this, they are wanting Patience to take a 12 hour med  that Cost triple and then they want you to take 4 hour med like 1 per day, and the cost of 4 hour med  cost pennies compared to the 12 hour Med.

How in the World can they get away with this & treating people who need there Medication every  month, 

I have been told that WALGREENS has provided their pharmacists a means to “black ball” a pt in Walgreen’s pharmacy computer system and that it applies to all 10,000 of their stores. If this is true, it would suggest that Walgreen’s has a high degree of confidence in the opinions of their employed pharmacists… and/or they could care less if their pharmacists fill any controlled medication prescriptions.

I have also been told that the only one who can remove that “black ball” is the pharmacist that put that flag on the pt’s records in the Walgreen’s pharmacy software system.

I routinely question why pts – who have been treated poorly by a chain pharmacist – that they want to continue to patronize that same chain..  Personally, it doesn’t matter the type of business… I refuse to BEG some business to let me give them my money.  If they don’t seem to want or appreciate my business I have always been able to find some other business that will be more than willing to respect me and treat me like they appreciate my patronage.

As always, here is a link to find a independent pharmacy by zip code for those pts who are tired of being treated more like a inconvenience to the employees of a business  http://www.ncpanet.org/home/find-your-local-pharmacy

http://www.wtol.com/story/38449491/marci-satchwell-death-man-stole-cancer-patients-pain-medication-before-dumping-body-in-kentucky

COVINGTON, KY (FOX19) –

A murder suspect is accused of stealing a cancer patient’s medication before dumping her body in a wooded area last week.

Kenneth Jones, 38, targeted his own cousin, Denita “Marci” Satchwell, in a plot to take her painkillers, according to court documents filed in Kenton County.

58-year-old Satchwell was a Stage 4 lung cancer patient and in “frail and in poor health,” documents show. Police called Satchwell an “easy target” for the robbery because she had a large number of painkillers in her Covington residence.

Satchwell was reported missing a little over a week ago. Her body was found Friday in the woods of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky.   

The cause of her death is not known.

Covington Police discovered that Jones and an underage accomplice planned and carried out the robbery at Satchwell’s house, which “resulted in the death of the victim,” court documents show.

Jones stored Satchwell’s body in the trunk of a vehicle overnight, police said.

Jones and the juvenile then drove to Boone County and dumped the body in the woods. After that, the pair tried to remove DNA evidence from the vehicle.

They are both charged with murder, attempted robbery and tampering with evidence.

A third suspect, Braedon Reaves, 18, is charged with facilitation to homicide.

Jones is being held at the Kenton County Detention Center on a $1 million dollar bond. 

Reaves is being held at the Kenton County Detention Center.

The juvenile is being held at the Campbell County Juvenile Detention Facility. 

Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to call Detective Jess Hamblin at 859-292-2375.

he is being forced by Kaiser off his meds. (Which we have heard the same from others.. it’s totally happening there and at MAYO etc… super anti pain med mentality no exceptions. Then if you refuse they have a long reach to your regular Dr’s/ PM’s and you lose either way). But he works for the airlines…. making twelve grand a month at 52yo… since one of the reasons we can’t get a lawsuit together is our low net worth … this guy may be our ticket even at 52yo, especially if you guys know of other high earning, younger pain patients … maybe we could get a good law firm to take their case

 And you will love this, his PM at Kaiser says she is one of the original writers or at least worked on the CDC Guidelines …. Wow! And is threatening to pull his drivers license too, ya know to save him & us all from his addictive meds. Crazy!

I had this article that I authored recently published on National Pain Report website.

www.nationalpainreport.com/do-we-need-to-educate-the-professionals-8836437.html

Do we need to educate the professionals?

While I am not an attorney, this person seems like the IDEAL CANDIDATE to teach some of these large corporate healthcare providers – or deniers – a major lesson…that corporations attempting to practice medicine is not within their corporate mandate  nor do they have a the legal right to dictate how their employed prescribers practice medicine.

Attorneys generally look for two things FINANCIAL DAMAGES to a person and DEEP POCKETS  and apparently this prescriber has taken it upon herself to cause severe financial damage to this chronic pain pt that has a job paying $12,000/month and she is going to take away both this 52 y/o’s pain medication and his driver’s license.    Just do the math… $150,000/yr and he has at least another 13 yrs to work…  that is only abt TWO MILLION in lost wages not to mention other benefits that come along with that well paying job…

My money is on that this is not the only pt that this prescriber is doing this to… so how many pts protected under the Americans with Disability Act & Civil Rights Act is being discriminated against by this one prescriber and what if this is a edict from Kaiser to all of their prescribers treating chronic pain pts ?…  It is reported that Kasier has a annual operating budget of FIFTY BILLION !!! Can you say DEEP POCKETS ?

All it will take one Kaiser pt like this one and one of their employed prescribers that has just retired and/or ready to retire… and it will be just a matter of how many ZEROS will be on the settlement check from Kaiser.

And Kaiser is just one of untold number of corporate healthcare providers who are dictating how their employed prescribers are treating or not treating their pts.   All it will take is one law firm to latch on to this “GOLDEN GOOSE” and the rest of the law profession will start circling like vultures.

Steps You Can Take When You Receive the Wrong Medication and Get Sicker

http://norfolk.legalexaminer.com/fda-prescription-drugs/steps-you-can-take-when-you-receive-the-wrong-medication-and-get-sicker/

In April 2018, leading pharmacy trade magazine Drug Topics published a feature titled “Your 10 Worst Pharmacy Mistakes.” One pharmacists wrote about directing a parent to give a child a teaspoon of an opioid-infused cough suppressant instead of 1 milliliter. The mistake resulted in the child receiving a dose five times larger than prescribed, which could have killed the young patient.

Another pharmacist described how she believes she contributed to causing a co-worker’s death by dispensing powerful antibiotics to the individual right after the other woman went through a course of chemotherapy. Overusing antibiotics in cancer patients leaves them vulnerable to developing bacterial infections that will not respond to any medications.

Each day, mistakes by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians put patients’ lives at risk. The dangers increase in hospitals and nursing homes, where nurses and medical assistants administer multiple medications to individuals who often cannot describe how a new dosage or combination of drugs affects them. And, of course, patients and parents in their own homes lack the expertise to immediately recognize if the have been instructed to take an overdose, prescribed a medication that interacts badly with one they already take, or dispensed a medication intended for a different person.

Harm results from patients receiving the wrong drugs, the wrong doses, and the wrong mix of medications. Waiting too long between doses can causes life-threatening problems; so can administering doses too close together. And when any type of error is made, the outcomes can be severe.

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices reported that the “types of injuries reported in 2016 affected every body system and include severe damage to the kidneys and liver, fatal cardiac events, cancer, potentially life-threating allergic reactions, as well neuropsychiatric effects such as depression, suicidal thoughts, and aggressive and violent acts.” This, according to the ISMP, means that “the therapeutic use of drugs constitutes a major public health risk of the same order of magnitude as illicit use of drugs or violent crime.”

Pharmacists have professional and legal duties to limit the potential harm to patients. Meeting these duties requires them to double-check all filled prescription orders before dispensing them, educating other health care providers on how to recognize and safely administer medications, and counseling patients and parents on how to use drugs safely. The duty of pharmacists also extends to closely supervising and checking on the work of the pharmacy technicians who actually do much of the work related to filling prescription orders.

Patients do have some responsibilities for protecting themselves, as well. For instance, they should always read pill bottle labels and look at refills. If they spot anything different from what they have seen previously, they should bring the discrepancies to the attention of the pharmacist.

But, as noted, many patients cannot advocate for themselves. They rely entirely on the skills and professionalism of pharmacy staff, as well as their medical care providers. When a wrong drug or wrong dose harms them, they have rights to report and file claims for medical malpractice.

The first step must be seeking emergency medical care. Make sure the ER team knows all the medications the patient is currently taking. Include a list of health supplements, and be prepared to discuss what the patient ate and drank throughout the day on which serious symptoms or side effects occurred.

Make sure a knowledgeable pharmacist or physicians who was not previously treating the patient reviews all that information. If the review turns up evidence of a medication error, it is time to consult with a Virginia medical malpractice attorney who has experience helping victims of pharmacy errors. A case may well exist if the negligence resulted in death, hospitalization or the need for ongoing medical care.

Holding negligent pharmacy professionals accountable protects other patients from similar mistakes and secures money to pay the bills that the pharmacist’s error imposed.

The USA has been discriminating against numerous protected groups in our country for years… just chronic painers and addicts count in the hundreds of millions … and now they want to make it official that they apparently wish to continue violating the human rights of our citizens going forward
