Can't they just agree to fill your prescription? They both are acting very unprofessional.

I'd just go to the hospital and start whining about it. Lol

12- In some places, they won't release narcotics over a fax (or photocopy). I had this problem after I had emergency surgery. Goddamn discharging doctor (who wasn't my surgeon) gave me a photocopy, and the pharmacy wouldn't take it. It took four hours to sort out, because that doctor had left, and somehow DIDN'T FILE the stupid original, so they had to get a whole new doctor down from Gynecology (where they were delivering a baby, so they were extra fast...) to check to see that YES, I was post op, and YES, I was supposed to have narcotics. The doctor is being unprofessional - pharmacies can't release the drugs without a prescription. Maybe the fax failed, or got misplaced.

My doctor calls in the prescription, but if it fails I still get prescription notes that have his signature so even if something gets misplaced, they still have the ability to fill my script as it is enough proof that I am supposed to have them, but it takes a considerable amount of time longer for them to sort out the pills for some reason

Any time I've had major surgery that need strong pain medication I got the prescription filled ahead of time. That way I avoided such headaches, and I could go home to bed.

Get the dentist guy too call again and say "here's the prescription!!!"

Well then you missed the part where someone had been going "back and forth for hours"

Yeah, those oral B products really do work.

Damn it #20, I was having a perfectly good boner and your comment ruined it.

52 Your picture ruined it for me.

Meh just crank up "sunshine of your love" any you'll be in the mood again.

Is your boyfriend still mad over the BJ situation?

I see what your saying op has another problem, but luckily it isn't about romance... So you decided to summ this up with a quote from a great poet of the twenty first century....hmm All in all it's a pretty ******* stupid comment

I was literally going to say that exact same thing! Great minds I guess...

The doc can't just write another prescription for a narcotic (assuming it is a narcotic and not a NSAID) like it's no big deal because all scheduled drugs are strictly controlled and monitored... Which is also why it's such a huge damn pain in the butt to get another one if you lose yours.

Exactly, but you can't call in narcs in america either....

Yes, you can call in CIIIs and CIVs. Can't call in CIIs. A pharmacy cannot fill a prescription they do not have. Call the doctor yourself.

I got you! The deal of the day is life! High on life!.. No? Well, there's always codeine.

And I hope you feel better soon.

Some people just can't admit when they're wrong. I'm sure they'll later blame it on a secretary and be buddy buddies again real soon

The most expedient thing would be for the doctor to just call in another prescription. Arguing whether the pharmacy lost it or not is pointless. If they lost it, they're not going to find it anytime soon.

If only natural selection worked a little faster we wouldn't have so many problems...

If only natural selection applied to human beings... We are the only species that defy natural selection (though not entirely) due to our ability to manipulate our surrounding. We care for the handicapped in our society, we treat those with illnesses, etc so natural selection, to a great extent, doesn't apply to us.

Its not just where you are. Im guessing that when OP left the surgeons office, the receptionist said they would call in the medication or told OP to call if there were issues. Now OP is stuck in between a rock and a hard place, but at this point, I think OP needs to find a ride to go pick up a physical prescription (unless its after hours). Its horrible regardless! Feel better OP!

A lot of offices and pharmacies tend to prefer to have the doctor fax over the prescriptions now, save for certain drugs.

Depends on where you are and what the med is. My hydrocodone is faxed in, when I had to take oxycodone, I had to bring a hard copy, and I believe it was also faxed or called in. Its to prevent addicts from scamming for narcotics. Makes it very difficult for those who actually need it.

Unfortunately, laughter would be more hurtful after oral surgery.

Oh gosh, I'm cringing at the thought of laughing after oral surgery. I had top and bottom jaw surgery once. Talking was out of the question, let alone laughing. *shudder*
