THE PRESCRIPTION

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office. "Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.

There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'..."


Don't blame me. Blame Doug.

  2.      I just went through a huge hassle with my drug store about prescription refills, so this is just perfect!

  3. Rick, my pharmacy is quite good about getting on the phone with the docs if the prescription calls for a renewal - and about calling if a doctor visit is in order before the prescription can be renewed. I have few hassles, TBTG.
