Kill me
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.
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.
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.
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.

ReplyDeleteYour pharmacist needs assertiveness training. "Ma'am, I can't give you what does not exist. Please step aside for Dr. Grumpy."
ReplyDelete@Alicia: Given the specific wait time he specified I'm pretty sure that's when the patent expires.
