Saw my regular doc yesterday. Routine. Took an empty cough syrup bottle to get Rx. refill. I had just used the last of it a month ago and I first got it 2 years ago. She did not want to refill Rx. this time because, she said, it had narcotics. She has been my doc for over 20 years and knows I am not an addict. But she danced all around the issue and would not admit that her fear is really that she will be vulnerable to Big Brother for prescribing that medicine. Gutless. A month ago my spouse and I were a little sick so we drove to her office to be tested for COVID. The nurse came out to our car and stuck the big Q-tips up our nose and next day we were told we had IT. I asked if we would get the antibodies but was told just take tylenol and if we get really sick to go to hospital. I said, "Oh, so they can kill us?" I'm going to get a new doc.

When you spend $300K+ on your education you darn well don’t want to lose your license. Of course that’s what she was worried about - it’s not your best interest it’s hers.

Wow your comment makes me wonder if that is why I'm not getting my meds for anxiety refilled. It's been like pulling teeth and been taking for years, same doctor. Had to cut back drastically bc almost out.
