First, a bit about me. My blood pressure is high when not controlled, but unfortunately i found out how high the hard way, because I always take my meds Having 5 days of supply left, I decided to find a new doctor because my existing doctor left my exams up to the nurses. I took my old prescription list which was two blood pressure meds . The new doctor said they could be combined into one pill and asked me my pharmacy and it was WalMart. Then life got interesting. WalMart did not have the stuff on Thursday. My wife went there on Friday and no dice on the combined meds pill and the old script i had of two pills could not be filled because the doctor prescribed the combined pill. This was Friday. evening. Walmart said no worries hat they would call the doctor in the morning. UMMMHMMM. I am not stupid enough to believe that. Doctor's web site said he would be there on Saturday. after arguing with my wife about haw nice the people were at WalMart, i simply asked her if she knew how nice the morning shift would be on Saturday.. i am figuring worst case scenario. i got my pressure checked and it was nearly at the level you are supposed to be at an emergency room.. I just quit arguing with my wife so as to not raise my pressure even higher I decided that it was up to me to save my own bacon, so i went to the doctor [who lied on his website about being open] by posting a sign on the door of new business hours. Wanting desperately to posses a piece of paper with a RX on it, my only option was going back to back to Wal mart. i told them Failure was NOT an Option and what was gonna happen in no uncertain terms. Either the drugs or if they were still out, a paper scrip that was my property that I paid for and wanted back. The pharm people were not having that , but I stood my ground. i told them to get on the phone and find and find another WalMart that had the stuff in stock. They gave me the 'Why didn't i think of that?' look and found another store that had the stuff ten miles away.. Victory Lessons learned is never leave the doctor's office without pAPER when you have a new prescription, and be able to think outside the box a bit when you are surrounded by others who have a narrow focus...Oh, and i found out that my old medication was recalled! You cannot make this stuff up!
