THE NEW NORMAL
There is a new normal enveloping us. It is called stupid, lazy, uneducated, inept, it's not my job, and etc. This has been a week of realizing that depending on a number of people to do their jobs correctly may be evolving into a thing of the past!!! Having made a specific in-person-appointment with our doctor to get a vitally important RX refilled, we were told, "Don't worry. We no longer give out paper RX... We will answer your pharmacy right away when they contact us for renewal."
Got on it immediately and eight days later, still no renewal of RX nor a reply from the doctor's office to pharmacy to renew the now gone prescription. After no fewer than ten calls to find our what was going on to both pharmacy and doctor's office, all I got is being put on hold, a machine with endless, repeated useless instructions, and then... disconnected. So what would you do given that this may become your new normal as well?
I did the only other thing I could think of and very inconveniently drove in person to both, told off a plethora of no longer respected workers in the middle of this wasteful stupidity and failure to do their jobs properly. Am still waiting. It is now the second weekend w/o medz and if my temper can be contained, I believe the following is going to happen. Many apologies from those involved, only to repeat similar mistakes all over again. Medicine is drowned in too many papers, too many rules, and too little common sense. There is no one person, office worker, doctor, government to blame anymore. It is part and parcel of too many non-essentials getting between the patient and their doctors. This is not limited to Medicine. The days of efficient hard workers are waning. Why should people care anymore when no one is responsible for what is going on? Besides, how many people still have the same work ethic we older people were raised with? If you too need to let off some steam about the current and worsening levels of inefficiency of government, medicine, and those who simply do not care to do a job well, this is your forum! Thank you in advance. Dr. Yanez *o*

I hope by now you have resolved the RX issue! I hate it when people don't do the job they are 'supposedly' being paid to do! E

FYI... Our aging family just experienced far worse than you just wrote about. It came very close to causing a death from the inept care. The Donaldsons

You do have every right to tell them that this is not acceptable. Will it change the situation is the question. J

This is the new normal. It’s damned dangerous. Something similar happened to one of my friends in CA. D

We are now seeing a similar event for our family. I blame it on government meddling. The R.S. Family

Sorry for all the hassles. Have a glass of wine. It may not help, but you will feel you are doing something.

God is not a man,never has been and never will be.Our bodies are the church of God or Goddess.Sadly religion has a lot to answer for,because it seeks to mind control people,and uses it's power to make a lot of money. Nick in OZ
