exactly who is responsible for your prescription snafu?

I spoke with a patient today who blamed Andrew Cuomo because she was told by her mail order pharmacy that her prescription for tramadol couldn't be filled until someone from her doctor's office called the mail order pharmacy because the directions on the prescription were different from the one before. Really? How can someone go so completely off the sanity rails and land in this train yard?

One has to wonder if the conspiracy theorists are more abundant than previously suspected.

Driving habits of.....?

An 82-year old female patient was once 20 minutes late to her appointment.  Her reason: she complained she got stuck driving behind a little old lady.

We have a wonderful young adult patient who is schizophrenic and is very faithful about taking their medication.  On their latest office visit, they had a frank discussion with our physician assistant.  It regarded the issue of magic, and those that practice the art.

The same person has been known to frequent Uno competitions.

So is the same pyhysician assistant.

True story.
