On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control recommended elderly patients stock up on medicine in case the virus causes a supply chain disruption.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I called my pharmacy to stock up. The insurance company won’t let me, it’s too early, I still have pills left.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Yes, but I’m trying to get ahead of the supply chain disruption. I need a refill now. Plus stay on my existing refill schedule. This 30 days supply is just to put in the back pocket for emergencies<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The doctor is reluctant to write the prescription, since I already have one and an additional 30 days supply now does nothing to solve the supply chain problem, it’s simply empties the warehouse and moves the problem forward in time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The experts recommend it, she doesn’t want to write it, he doesn’t want to pay for it, and they don’t want to fill it. Gee, I can’t imagine why the public is confused about who to believe, and in a panic over what to do about it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Looks like I’m going online. How do you spell metformin in Mexican?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
