Argh... Stupid doctors...

[lovbyts]

I started at at a longevity clinic years ago. As typical I started with Test Gel. As most it didnt work for me and I have kids so i don't want cross contamination. I switch to injections years ago, Test E.

Recently my pharmacy has been getting delays/out of stock of Test E and now everyone in my area seems to be out of stock of Test E although they have Test C.

I made a simple request to my doctors office. Re write my prescription for Test C for the time being. I got a voice message left on my cell phone saying they called my pharmacy and have switched my prescription form Test E to Test GEL... WTF???

That's like going from penicillin to sucking on a peppermint plant leaf. Why would the go backwards??? Now I have to call tomorrow and explain to them, NO I dont want the gel. I get a rash, doesn't work for me, cross contamination. Been there, done that.

Probaby just mistake, but I agree sucks having to always explain yourself. Sometimes it's worth the copay just to have the face to face.

I hear ya. My Doctors office has done similar things before. It makes you wonder about the mistakes they make that have sent uneducated patients to the ER.

lovbyts, did you call your doc today?

[JD250]

Probably because an assistant made the call and took the advice of the pharmacist.....

I agree. A lot of doctors offices use medical assistants (not nurses like you might thing) to call in your RX. And most doctors have bad hand writing.
