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

This is absolutely ridiculous. How dare a pharmacist refuse to fill a valid prescription. Do we now live in Nazi Germany??????
I got the very same treatment’word for word’several yrs.ago,also CVS,Bittings Phar.[Ocala,Fla.]17th st,Pharm., Francks.all in ocala.Only Publix treated me nice,but they DO run out of stock.I do mail order w/OptumRX,they are horribly bad w/service,but when they doget it right,at least you have your medicine.good luck
I would tell everyone NOT to go to Walgreens, their is a pharmacy here in WV that does the same thing whom I no longer go to and they do treat u like drug addicts. These drs have over prescribed to pts with no medical evidence of pain and give it anyways WHY? Now people like myself that need BOTH knees replaced, and numerous other physical conditions, gall stones, corporal tunnel and no one will operate unless I go to a pain clinic, now how is one dr going to operate while another medicates you? My family dr retired and I miss him dearly, he was the smartest dr I have ever met in my life and I am 54yrs old, so the people that have real pain have to suffer due to the ones that just obtained it to get high, sell or whatever they do this is very sad, I live in pain every day and its not fair PERIOD! sherri spencer July 1st at 11:10am someone has to help us please

At the Coalition for the Terminally Ill Disabled and Elderly, we advocate on behalf of patients like yourself by contanting the pharmacy on your behalf because this is illegal activity. CvS has also institutionalized descrimination against those who need palliative care. We have petitions online to help stop it. You can find us on Facebook or tidecoalition
I’m so very sorry this is happing to you! I will never ever give wallgreens my money! Nor will any of my family members! I will spread the word. Thank you so much for putting the link out there. Bless that huge heart of yours!
