They cannot have it both ways
He came in and handed me the script. I knew what was coming. “Brand only” Okee fine, I have no issue with that. It what always happens next that drives me to distraction. Its the bitching about the price that he does. I can fill the way they want it–brand for $200+ for a 90 day supply of Norvasc or I can do $15.00 for the generic, same manufacturer.
“No, generic doesn’t work”. Then fork over the $200.00+.
You cannot have it both ways. Every time we have this conversation, its the same. They complain about how much medicine costs and every time I offer the generic. Every time they decline. This time they thought they would trump me. “Maybe we should fill our prescriptions someplace else” they said. “Ok, I’ll buy you lunch if they are any less there for the same thing”.
They are still here…and still buying brand. I am thinking they aren’t as awash in cash as they used to be because they never used to whine. Now its all they do. I can fix it. They just won’t let me.
