Go to Life in the fast lane--where's the on ramp?

- Go to The Merry-Go-Round broke down. It made the strangest sound...
Pat have no fear it is happening here. If one wants to see one's supposedly own Doctor, it is a month's wait . Fortunately I now order my pills on line as the chemist kept sending for me to collect sacks of them that I did not want. Sometimes the receptionist is more helpful than the doctor. My neighbor was annoyed she was refused medication that the hospital suggested, so she changed doctors and he wrote the prescription out immediately. One does not pay a dime after a certain age.

I am incensed and feel like driving down there. Hey Pat how about 81mg Aspirin to keep safe until you catch up with those hounds. OR we will send it down to you express if you can't get it.

To do it Wiley's way works. You just hang in there, contacting everyone you can think of, using email and telephone and face to face visits if possible. No luck? Then you threaten vaguely...don't actually let them pin you down on an accusation that they can deny, but Wiley will threaten to and does call the FBI, the local police the Government both provincial and Federal. Finally someone gets either scared or tired and Wiley wins again.

The bureaucratic run-around again - frustrating and infuriating! I do hope you'll be able to resolve this soon...

I had that same thing happen to me once with one of my medicines. I don't even remember what I did about it or what medicine it was, but for a bit it had me going in circles, and I was rather out of sorts about it. The last time I got my monthly supply of meds and such, I went to the drive up window. She told me one of the five was going to cost me $129 (I usually have to pay $20). I told her, "I only pay $20 for that one." She went away from the window for a long time. Finally came back and said, "That one will be $3.93." I took it without question but I didn't understand the whole thing.
