The prescription people have four rules:
1. You can have only thirty days' worth of pills.
2. You may only order a refill twenty days in.
3. A prescription takes three to five business days to fill
4. and a further five to seven business days to ship.
It does not take a genius to spot that it's quite likely that one will run out of medication. Now, "maintenance medication" is exempt from this, you can have ninety days at a time, so fortunately you can stay alive.
My happy pills don't count as maintenance, even though without them I'm liable to become dysfunctionally depressed and certain to become dysfunctionally dizzy. Good thing I don't need to drive for e.g. my job, because I'd be crashing into things. Good thing I don't need to stand up a whole lot. Good thing it's a snow day so I don't have to go teach today.
Their response? "According to our records, you should have eight days left of your medication." Well, I don't. I don't have any. I am glad to have health insurance, but sometimes I wish that the executives who made the rules had the same insurance I do.
