purple Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Oh yes....the level of stupidity at the pharmacy of the Dayton VA just continues to amaze me. I just caught another error on their part. Well, it's either an error, or they are trying to cover another doc's butt. I was looking at my latest script from the pdoc I saw last week when I noticed that the name of the doc on the bottle isn't the name of the doc I saw!!! The name on the bottle is actually the supervisor of the department. Strange. Plus I looked up this new med with my med interaction list....geeeez....so not good. I'm calling the pharmacy tomorrow and ask some questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted December 8, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 8, 2008 You may find out that your PDoc can't write their scripts. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 That was my first thought. Makes me wonder why a pdoc would loose his script-writing privilege...and if that's true...why is he still seeing pts??? As soon as I have his full name from my records (I'll get the copies this week); I'll try to check his license out on the internet. But he isn't from this country...might not be easy.

Tayo Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hello Purple, This individual may be a resident. If that is the case, the attending signs of on scripts, consults, etc. Normally, the VA Hospitals are "teaching" hospitals. Tayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 No, he isn't a resident...he's been there for several years. I recall seeing him about 4 years ago and getting meds from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted December 9, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 9, 2008 Some scripts have to be approved by department chiefs. I guess it was done to save time. Probably no big deal. Check into it for your own piece of mind though. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
