Ora/ Prescriptions should have attachments

[Guest guest]

I live in MA, and my pain management doctor is in NH. If you

never picked them up, then after a certain amount of time, they would be put

back on the shelf. And it would be on the pharmacy records that you didn’t

pick it up, but the doctor would never know unless he had some reason to call

your pharmacy and ask if you had picked it up. And if you never take it in to

the pharmacy, no one knows.

What state are you in? I wonder what would happen if I never picked up the

prescription meds. Would it go on my record. My doctor sometimes gives me a

script for pain but I never get it filled because I don't really like to take

that stuff unless I am really out of it.

Ora,

Chances are great that it would go on your chart and it would be

listed as a non-compliant patient but even so when a patient has

a reason for not complying it must be stated in the chart. Not

all doctors do this and they should because many patients when

they don't comply with the doctor's wishes do so for a reason,

not just because they have nothing else better to do.

Several years back when I was seeing one of the Physician's

Assistants at the practice I had been going to for several years

for my primary care needs was talking to me about the issue of

my IBS she told me the standard things to try and I told her I

had but none of them worked. Basically in the notes she also

included that I was being non-compliant which was not true. It

just didn't work for me. Most of the standard stuff for IBS

doesn't help me even now.
