106. CVS Pharmacy are God......

Fri Mar 22, 2013, 09:49 PM

Mar 2013

.. I was in a traffic crash. I had 17 stitches in my right side, and 5 stiches in my left arm where I pushed against the windshieled.

My doctor gave me a script after leaving the emergency room.... it was for 10 pills of oxycodone to relieve the paine until I coulde get to my family doctor on Monday.

!0 Stinking PILLS! You would have thought I was a drug addict.!

The CVS Pharmacist whisperd to his assistant... that the DEA does not Allow him to dispense Oxycodone.

Well, that is just fine.. except I have just went thru the windshield of a truck.. and I needed the pain relief until I could get to a surgeon.

CVS REFUSED tp fill my script for 10 pills. They went on to say.. I was not allowed to ask if any CVS had the drug.. they told me to drive up and down the highway and stop at all drug stores.. until I found someone who would fill my perscription. They said.. "we dont care what you do.. it's not our problem". There you have it.. the CVS code of business.

So.. CVS Pharmacy.. said I should drive up and down the highway.. until I found someone to filll my script.? Never mind.. that I had just survived a horrific truck crash and was spiting glass out of my mouyh.

CVS will NOT fill your scripts as the doctor ordered., They ae Pharmaceutical whores........
