- I’m a young physician and received a patient request to talk about six different chronic conditions. I suggested they come into the office even though that was more inconvenient for the patient. I thought I could set more limits in person. Was that fair?
- My doctor’s office called in several prescriptions to my drug store. I then found out that I could get my medicines cheaper somewhere else. They gave me a little bit of a hard time when I asked my doctor to cancel everything at the first pharmacy and send the prescriptions to the new pharmacy.
- Why can’t my doctor give me a paper prescription and send it electronically?
- When I found out a new prescription was too expensive, I talked to a social worker who gave me a coupon to get the medicine for much less. Why didn’t the doctor tell me about it?
