Jack and his medicine💉

[mavisgarygotadui]

I went to CVS and the grocery store. I’m not having a good day. It’s frustrating how some days are so much worse than others. I guess I should be grateful some days are good because there was a time when they were all bad. I just want to go back to sleep. I should be cleaning my apartment. My cat is mad at me because I brushed her. I think I’m going to make myself a small thanksgiving dinner this year. I might do chicken though instead of turkey because they are always so large.

New scam!

At least, new to me. My daughter was seriously ill earlier in the week (doing much better, now). She had to pick up medicine from a CVS local to her college in Pennsylvania.

This morning I got a call, and the caller id said "CVS pharmacy." While there is certainly no reason for them to call me - an insurance issue? Maybe? - I picked it up. The person on the other end told me, in a heavy Indian* accent, he was calling from CVS (no name, though). He asked for my daughter by her full name. I told him that she was not available, but that I was her mother. He then asked me for her date of birth. "Uh-unh," I told him, "YOU called ME." He spluttered momentarily, and I hung up.

My husband, who is both more patient with phone menus and substantially more confrontational than I, called the CVS. They confirmed that their store had not tried to contact us, and he told them (quite nicely) that they had some kind of data breach, and their patients' names and home phone numbers were compromised. He ended up getting transferred up to their corporate office, to an office relating to that sort of thing. It took him quite a while, but he did manage to get across to them that someone had hacked them in some way and was also able to spoof caller id to pretend more successfully to BE them.

They seemed to be genuinely glad to be notified, and sincere in promising to try to track the issue down.

But. Shit. All these years, one of the only helpful things has been that the caller id of the scammers never matches who they claim to be when you pick up. If they can access pharmacy data, even just names and phone numbers, (which is BAD ENOUGH) and then call right after you've had a visit, how many people ARE going to get fooled by that?

'* I'm aware that 'Indian' is not a language - but I do not know how to distinguish Hindu/Tamil/Urdu/etc accents for ESL speakers.

CVS pharmacy tech lied to my face today 🙃

Last week, I tried to order a refill of the prescription I’m on for my chronic pain. I had two and half days of doses left. Obviously, Thanksgiving meant maybe I should have ordered it sooner to be sure they had it in stock, but it’s a controlled substance (Schedule 4, I think?) and I can’t order refills til I’m like 3-5 days of being out.

I went in to the pharmacy to speak with someone about it, because the website made it very difficult to place the order and also was not displaying it as in progress or in my order history or anything. I wanted to be sure they knew it wasn’t too early like the website kept trying to insist. One of the techs very dismissively told me it wasn’t in stock and to take the script somewhere else to get it filled. (I didn’t realize she meant “if I wanted it before Thanksgiving” til later). I left feeling a little annoyed but sure that I would have my script by Monday, because surely they would order more when my script wasn’t moved.

It’s Wednesday now. 9 days of no meds. Last night, I tried sending the script back to the CVS pharmacy I normally fill at, by our former apartment. I went all the way over there, freezing my butt off in the car waiting for the heat to kick in and slowly getting more tense and pained. I went inside and went to the counter. I asked about my prescription. The tech here told me he could see the script from October 29, but because it was a NEW script and I had transferred it to the other pharmacy, it was now stuck there unless I had my doctor send another script to my old pharmacy. Great!

So we left, and my partner drove us through rush-hour traffic that was worse than usual because of a wreck that had completely stopped cars going the other way (there were like 8 cops in a line just. Keeping people from moving forward. When there was nowhere to go because the ambulance and another vehicle were in the middle of the highway). We finally make it to the CVS nearest my mom’s. The one she has hated with a burning passion since we started having to use CVS over 15 years ago. The one where I was dismissively told to take my controlled prescription to another pharmacy as if that’s an easy thing to do.

We get to the counter. The same lady who dismissed me before is back there again. Someone says they’ll be with me in a moment in a tone implying that I’m acting impatient when I was just looking at signs and waiting quietly two feet from the window. A different tech comes to help me. She tells me that there isn’t a script at all. I mention October 29 and she says “nope!” without even double checking like the tech at the other, much busier pharmacy took the time to do. She says she has sent another note to my doctor and to call him if there’s anymore problems.

And then a minute later I get a text from CVS automated update line informing me that they don’t have my medication in stock and are ordering more.

Several hours later I finally unboxed my Be You Crew Briana, and she is genuinely impressing me. She feels decent quality, her hair feels really soft, her clothes feel nice (esp. her dress. & she didn't have any plastic tabs in her scalp either which is a plus. I would honestly gift this to a child or doll collector friend. She is a lovely doll (with 2!! Fits) for $20.

Just rescued a Palm Warbler from inside the store at CVS Stock Island. The migratory Warbler was uninjured and will be released to continue the journey South! Thanks to all involved!

Oh the rich are REAL scared

[cryptidanathema]

Almost impressed by CVS's willingness to say the quiet part out loud on the job assessment. "I expect a good work-life balance" and "I do what is asked of me* were listed as *negative answers*. And there were a truly suspicious number of questions about quitting.

I drew this in the amount of time it took to get my prescription filled, part II, 2024

[interdimentional]

[dumbdomb]

they're also requiring people to consent without signing anything to provide ALL their personal medical records and office visit notes in order to receive their medication. you can't get your prescription unless you verbally consent to this. just found out this month, November 2024.

idk if this is happening at walgreens, rite aid, walmart, amazon, or any other big name pharmacies. haven't been given any info about this new change, either. last month no problem, this month got a warning i wouldn't be able to get my meds next month without breaking my doctor/patient confidentiality and saying "ok"

this change is effective in California, btw. ^

if anyone knows more about this, i'd really appreciate some actual info to learn about it.

Did I really spend $20 on a doll just for the outfit she came with? Yes, yes I did. I *N E E D E D* that sparkly dress. She's Briana from the Be You Crew which is exclusive to CVS btw. She's made by Just Play Toys but apparently shares the same body mold as the Naturalistas dolls by Purpose toys.
