I dropped off my prescription for a non-narcotic pain reliever. The pharmacy manager took my prescription and said give me 25-30 minutes. When I returned to pick up my Rx she stated that she cold not fill it without talking to my doctor as the prescription was printed on the wrong paper and it was at her discretion whether or not to fill it and she would not fill it without talking to the doctor THE NEXT MORNING. She did not offer to give me the prescription back so I could have it filled elsewhere she stated they would let me know the next morning after they talked to the doctor whether or not they could fill it. I limped out in the agony I had been in for nearly two weeks after a fall, pulled hamstring and sciatic pain. I did not sleep that night. I care for my elderly parents and my father had a stroke that night. I was forced to continue as caregiver in absolute agonizing pain during my family's time of need because this woman's discerned that I did not deserve to have a non-narcotic pain reliever filled in a timely fashion. She was demeaning, condescending, unkind, She made me to feel and be helpless and victimized. I was violated and assaulted at a time when I most needed help from a pharmacist. Her conduct continued the next morning. She made it very clear that she had not one ounce of caring for me or my situation or the control through legally prescribed non-narcotic pain relievers of my agony.
I am including the pharmacists code of ethics: Oath of a Pharmacist
At this time, I vow to devote my professional life to the service of all humankind through the profession of pharmacy.
I will consider the welfare of humanity and relief of human suffering my primary concerns.
I will apply my knowledge, experience, and skills to the best of my ability to assure optimal drug therapy outcomes for the patients I serve.
I will keep abreast of developments and maintain professional competency in my profession of pharmacy. I will maintain the highest principles of moral, ethical and legal conduct.
I will embrace and advocate change in the profession of pharmacy that improves patient care.
I take these vows voluntarily with the full realization of the responsibility with which I am entrusted by the public.
I absolutely love Sam's Club and shopping there in usually a treat. My Sam's shopping experience will be forever sullied by this pharmacist and her blatant violation of the pharmacists oath.
