You can always count on Hope

Yes, you can.  Hope is one of our patients that will be there right at opening time TWO days before her "Hydroco" (She's looking at the bottle which says HYDROCO/APAP 5/500 which is your standard Vicodin generic) can be filled.  It's always TWO days before the insurance will pay for it, and she always has "hope" that it can be filled early.  There there's the pouty look and the "Can't you let it go just this time?" question, because Hope has hope that I'm going to just change the rules for her.

I have hope that Hope will someday wean off her Vicodin addiction, but so far there's been no hope of having that happen.
