CVS Pharmacy complaint: 5 Day Rule on Certain Medications

Sirs;

I’m not so sure that you’ve actually thought this process through in it’s entirety. I get a 30 day script from a pain management Dr. yet you push it back to 35 days. I understand the the why’s yet I would like to know the Doctors name and DEA that is actually looking and studying my medical file so I can file a Federal Law suite for medical malpractice. Since I’m in one state and the parent company is in another it would go to the federal level. I try to hold over extra to meet your rules but with working 16-18 hour days and old age and arthritis and gout like they have never scene (6 surgery’s due to gout), at times it is hard to hold over. Reason for the script and amount is because it dulls the pain so I can move. It doesn’t make me loopy or stupid but allows me to actually continue to move and work so I can pay the bills.

I live in a county that has a high classification of over dosing. I can’t help the irresponsible ones abusing the narcotic except maybe have the Narcan on a 5 day delay.

Have you ever hurt so bad you get depressed? You may hear today is a good day or today is a bad day due to the pain. Do you really and truly understand why the Doctors and nurses ask you if you want to hurt yourself? In my opinion because the alternative; as bad as it maybe, is because one is so tired of living in pain that it drives one into depression to make the decision to finally stop hurting. Due to the change in your protocol of 35 days instead of 30 due you think you might actually push someone to that decision due to the amount of pain they are in? (And no I’m not suicidal)

Lastly I would think about lost of wages because I’m unable to move due to the pain. Heat packs, hot tub, Tylenol and every other OTC medication to help does little. The pain and suffering aspect of your decisions to change my script from a 30 day to a 35 script is mind altering. Even the Insurance company was even asking who in the world is changing your script? I see where the doctor wrote for a 30 day and we have it on file and since you’ve been taking this for sometime, someone is changing what the doctor wrote.

I’ll close by saying and summing it up if you still don’t understand;

Medical malpractice

Loss of Wages

Pain and Suffering

Sub-standard Products (Generics-they maybe FDA approved, they do little)

Altering Prescription’s on another’s DEA’s number.

Proof that you may due this from getting sued in attempt to protect the company. Rather a smoke screen that you’re trying to help society but when the real reason maybe to prove that the all mighty dollar is more important to the board than the quality of life to the customer’s that spend their hard earned money at your locations which I might add lacks in several areas.

Short staffed, receiving wrong medications, shorts your medications, doesn’t auto fill your medications, trash in the isles, the shelves are empty (that maybe beyond your control) and this is not just at one location.

Maybe I will reach out to a one call, that’s all type attorney, and make you re-think you’re blanket type coverage decisions instead of individual one’s for your customers. It’s just a thought to wake you all up. What do I have to loose. It’s like your playing God with my quality of life.

Your pharmacist are in place for a reason, have them call and continue to verify the scripts and if they feel they are fraudulent, have them call a Hotline to have the ones that originally wrote the script investigated.

Come walk in my shoes for a day without the help and maybe….just maybe you’ll understand.
