Hi Pam, There IS an elevator. The problem is not the elevator, it is that when the elevator door opens in the lobby of my building, in order to get outside, you have to get down _two sets of stairs to get to the sidewalk._ The elevator does not go down to street level, and the door persons are

Kevin Don't fire your doctor if you have liked him up to this time. Good doctors are hard to find and the fact that you are being asked to come in before he will renew your rx again could be another sign of being a good doctor. Have you called back to ask if you can have a one month supply?

Patti, I always call my meds in before they run out. I was forced to move my car a block away because it was 'tagged' as abandoned. I am fighting with my building, and yesterday the dirctor of fair housing from my state came out here. Coincidentally, the building had workers re-paving the

Sandy, I wonder if my doctor would be legally liable if I get sick because I couldn't come in and he refused to refill my blood pressure medication? I think the doctors got together and figured out a way to milk out some moe of our insurance money. My last neurologist is still sending me a

Yes, I've had that experience with a doctor who wouldn't refill prescriptions without an appointment, even though I have been taking the same medicine at the same dosage for years. I figure it is a way of covering their bases legally. What really burned me once was that when my doctor

Hi Kevin, I can understand your frustration with this, but I think it all depends upon how long it's been since you've been seen and the doctor's personal philosophy regarding refills. New patients are a different story, there's a liability there. He may not agree with what has been
