Type up a letter for your doctor's signature, stating essentially that " Mr. K has a medical condition for which Cialis 5mg 1 tablet daily on a regular basis is medically indicated, and which I (Dr. Joe Blow) feel is appropriate, and have prescribed. The prescription is attached. Please fill it for him. VTY, Dr. Joe Blow (who is smarter and less interested in the $15 million dollars a year your CEO is getting than he is in the well-being of his patients, unlike your abusive and uncaring staff). P.S. Thank you and have a nice life.
