Ora/ Prescriptions should have attachments

[Guest guest]

<I wonder what would happen if I never picked up theprescription meds. Would it go on my record> I REALLY doubt that it would. Pharmacies don't contact the doctor's office if a patient doesn't pick up meds. My friend is a pharmacist and she confirmed this for me. Especially with pain meds...you might be red-flagged if you were trying to get more than the rx had allowed for, but that's it. Lindsey

Kristy, I don’t think there is any connection between the

pharmacy and the doctor’s office unless the doctor called the pharmacy

and asked if she picked up the prescriptions. Otherwise there is no way the

doctor would know. If you don’t pick up your prescription, it cannot be

on your record at the doctor’s office. In other words if Ora chooses not

to take the prescription, does not pick it up, the doctor would never know, and

it would not be on her record. If she goes back to the doctor with the same

medical complaint, and the doctor says I gave you a prescription for that, she

would then have to tell him she didn’t take it, didn’t pick it up,

and then it would be on her record.

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.

My dentist uses a machine to send scripts to the pharmacy and they sent one for

antibiotics for me. But the pharmacy called them and said there was something

wrong with the dosage so I went back to the dentist office and this time they

printed out the prescription and gave it to me to take to the pharmacy. It

caused a bit of a hullabaloo in the dentist office because the dentist didn't

know the proper dosage. They had a conference and finally figured it out. But

I had the printed prescription in my hot little hand and I took it to the

pharmacy myself.
