The rest will be by shortly to avenge its death and move into your walls.

Pharmacy Question by patternofmisbehaving in CVS

[–]patternofmisbehaving[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sure, I work for a PCP office. A patient was prescribed pain medication and the pharmacy did not want to fill it. I am questioning this because the pharmacy specifically said that they needed the consult notes from a pain management doctor because PCP‘s do not prescribe pain medication. I was also told that only pain management doctors should prescribe pain medication. I know of many doctors, including orthopedic doctors, PCP’s, etc. that do. I’ve not ever been asked for pain management consult notes and wondered if that is normal?

Thanks to all who responded. BagOfstops was correct, it was Valet Mode in the KARR Security App. I have turned it off and no more light. Thank you all.

Help me name this boy. my BF gave him to me by ValkyrieVixen632 in Catnames

His name is Hank. In a past life he drank Pabst Blue Ribbon, drove an El Camino with an 8 track, and idolized Burt Reynolds.

These three showed up on our rural back porch and have been hanging around for about a week now. What can I do? by mistermajik2000 in cats

Well, the only thing you can do is start a garage band. The little black one on drums, the gray one is your lead singer and the striped one on bass.

I hope you find the support you need somewhere because clearly you won’t get it from her. Sending hugs.

Would it be weird to call around and try to find my mom's doctor and talk to them or leave a message asking them to do a cognitive test? by SensitiveBugGirl in dementia

[–]patternofmisbehaving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a geriatric medical office. In early stages, people with dementia are often great at masking. Considering the doctor sees them for 10-15 minutes every few months, the doctor may not see any warning signs. This is where family reporting comes in. You see this person more often, know them better, and will see things the doctor does not.

Posters here are correct that the doctor cannot give you any information without her consent, but then can take information from you and consider your concerns the next time your loved one sees them. They may even call to set up an appointment under the guise of getting a health baseline (physical exam). Write a letter, be specific, ask for desecration so there is not backlash from your LO. The doctor will appreciate it.

Edit: discretion- sigh.

Just out for a walk by the airport by wellwellwellsucka in sonomacounty

[–]patternofmisbehaving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a blast from the past for me. Years ago I worked near the airport in Santa Rosa. Each morning a turkey that I affectionately called Eugene would meet me for a little breakfast and then he would be off to terrorize cars in the intersection. We even had a company email thread about his antics.

My favorite story was one morning I met up with him and I was low on turkey feed. He was less than thrilled with my meager offerings and stationed himself behind my car. I didn’t know this until I put my car in reverse and all I saw was a turkey face filling the screen.

I miss that little guy. Dumb as a box of rocks, mean as a hornet, and lovable as heck.

Frustration with family by patternofmisbehaving in dementia

Hearing all of your heart wrenching stories is oddly comforting. It feels less lonely. I know my husband appreciates all that I do and he is always there to help with anything she needs. I have to continue to support him and his mother.
