Priorities
I have a patient that insists she MUST have brand Percocet quantity 120 which cost her $477, but she didn't want to pay $134 for her husband's Levitra. Poor guy.
$477? That's a bit expensive. After surgery a few years ago I was prescribed 20 Percocets, given in generic form, and it cost me $1.50. A few months after that I broke a bone and was again given generic Percocet, quantity 20, and it still cost me $1.50. $477?!!?
