Currently trapped in line at a pharmacy behind a woman demanding generic Emgality and refusing to leave until she gets it. So I guess I'll be here until 2034.

A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Since you're still in line, let her know they have a savings program that will cover her copay if she's insured. I get mine for free that way. Migraine's are a bitch and no one should have to unnecessarily suffer because of financial struggles.
By which time there will likely be something better…
I'm assuming that Emgality either doesn't have a generic yet or maybe it is a generic? Either way I hate waiting in pharmacy lines, whether in-store or the drive-thru.
Your pharmacist needs assertiveness training. "Ma'am, I can't give you what does not exist. Please step aside for Dr. Grumpy."
@Alicia: Given the specific wait time he specified I'm pretty sure that's when the patent expires.
If a patient doesn't like standing in line at the pharmacy, believe me, oh believe me, a pharmacist does NOT like looking out and seeing a patient standing in line either. Especially at 10 minutes after closing time.
