IMPORTANT and USEFUL TIP for PATIENTS


THIS...

...is the point in time WHEN you request a refill on your medication.

NOT THIS:




Want better service? Don't want a wait, a hassle, or to go without your medication? 

It's simple! 

ASK FOR YOUR REFILL WHEN YOU HAVE THREE TABLETS/CAPSULES LEFT.

Any questions?

Good. Let's review.

When your bottle looks like this:



That's when YOU call the automated line at the pharmacy and punch in your Rx number for refill. Or use the web, a text based service, or our app. 

But YOU do NOT wait until your bottle looks like this:



That's NOT the time to ask for a refill. You're out. You're going to experience a delay.



It would literally blow your mind how many times I've had this conversation with people of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds.

I've lost count myself.

A friend and I were discussing this and we came to a realization. We're trying to apply ideas about responsibility and common sense to people that have neither. Part of the reason why I felt so much frustration at the end of the day when I couldn't figure out why people were acting so dumb.

That's because they are dumb. A lot dumber than you think too.

I try to think of them as spoiled 5 year old brats trapped in adult bodies.
