  • That's fucked up. Can you see a different doctor at the practice? Or a nurse practitioner? Does your pharmacy have a NP who could prescribe based on your prescription history?

    I'm not overly familiar with the ins and outs of US prescriptions (assuming that's where you're from if it's that difficult) so Idk how viable any of that is, sorry.

    • It's ok. No, there are no pharmacies here that have anyone to prescribe blood pressure pills. I'd have to go to a doctor. But I don't have enough money for the fees. All I have is $20 to get me my script, whenever I can find a way to get one.

      • Fuck. I'm sorry. I wish I could help.

        I guess the best you can do for now is drink a lot of water, avoid stress and try to manage with diet for the interim - obviously it won't do the complete job the pills would, and you're probably aware of what you need to do already. And the stress of worrying about getting the damn pills can't be helping. Ugh. Your doctor is a POS.

        • They have these policies, I've been told. The problem is that they sometimes seem to put policies ahead of someone's health, even when it's serious.

          • Yeah. That seems very common in the US.

            • Yep. I'm American, but I definitely see alot of things wrong with this country today. Too many people here who don't know how to proiritize, who don't give a shit about what's really important, and who have their heads up their ass. Alot of us Americans are badmouthing our country today, so many things here have turned to shit.

              • It saddens me that a people who can be so generous are also so selfish as to not want universal healthcare because it might help someone they deem unworthy.

                That just beggars belief.
