The doctor's office just told me that they were not allowed to call in

38. My husband has to take antibiotics every time he goes to the dentist

or gets a severe cut. With the dentist he has to start taking them 2 days before the visit, and 8 days after. He had 3 stents put in and this is apparently routine procedure for potential infections.

Every time he sees the dentist he has to see his heart specialist before? No. Hey, doc, I got a dentist appointment next week. Doctor calls up PUBLIX in Florida, and my husband does there and picks up the antibiotic for FREE. If you live in Florida, you do know that antibiotics are free at Publix and have been for a number of years.

I do know Florida keeps track of the number of times you buy antibiotics, or for that matter, even OTC stuff like Mucinex. They write down you Driver's License number when you purchase them. I was told you cannot buy multiples at a time because ingredients used are also used to make illegal drugs. Don't remember which ones. Is this what you mean?

Edit: How I found out about the Mucinex. I had a Health Saving Plan which I didn't use. The cash in it had to used by the end of the year. I decided I would buy a whole bunch of OTC cold/cough, etc., and give it away. I couldn't do that in Florida. When I went back up to NY, I took my adult daughters with me. Gave the clerk my boxes and the card. You look over 18. Yep. This box is for me. Those boxes are for my daughters. I am paying for all of them. Ok. No problem. No Drivers License number either. So, it must be a Florida requirement, not a federal one.
