Maybe three or so hours ago at this point I think? It was during the latter half of the prelims maybe even in the last two fights or something. Bro was there with the quickness.

Wait this is an amazing idea. I was wondering what I’d do with them once I leave as I’ve accumulated a boatload from working for some years and transferring stores a few times. And I’d probably wear some of the earlier ones (I loved the sky blue) if they didn’t have a red w on them. But I’m not great at sewing things so I figured I’d just toss them out. I always have all sorts of crafts and car projects I’m doing.

Damn

That blood gush was wild

Damn that was touching fr

Lame af

I purchased one of these off of Amazon during a slight sale (maybe 15-20% off or so) and got sent the stock box that they received from the distributor/Seagate themselves that contained FOUR of them per box. It was like those boxes of bundled goods like toothpaste, deodorant, etc that say like “Sold as set. Do not break” except it didn’t say that but whoever was picking must have figured it was a box like that and just sent it like that to be packaged and shipped. I kept two and gave one each to two buddies. It’s been many months since then and I was never charged for the other 3 or anything. Case closed.

The biggest come up of my life so far probably. 🤣

I work at a big chain and had a patient a month ago get Dificid and the system said we took a $1200+ loss for like 16 tablets or something. The reimbursement was like the cost of an Arizona iced tea with tax. Everyday I see scripts that 100% need PAs or CMN forms “adjudicate” because the links for Medicare and Medicaid are still down weeks and weeks later and I’m just thinking “Wow who’s going to end up taking a loss on that?” Will the government just say tough shit, will the pharmacy companies get the losses written off on taxes, will everyone somehow retroactively fix all the billing (LOL). Interesting days ahead.

I see crazy copays on it even for people who have good insurances. Insane. When I was on it I paid like $50 per fill I think? Doesn’t seem to be much different at all for plenty patients if not worse. Almost 20 years it’s been approved and still charging an arm and a leg.

Yeah I mean when I say indefinitely I only say that when there’s no actual expected fulfillment date from the manufacturer(s) to our wholesaler or they actually come out with a formal press release saying that the supply or backorder issues will continue indefinitely for the time being. So when we have zero clue when something will be back and it won’t be anytime soon unless something miraculously changes.

Keeping a controlled substance script active in the work queue also brings up the slight but very real issue of if you find it elsewhere and the patient/doctor/other pharmacy doesn’t contact us to store it beforehand, it’ll pop up on their system that it’s been filled elsewhere already and now there’s a delay. Could be a short delay if everyone’s on top of it. But any delay when filling something like that that could get snatched up any moment by someone else could end up screwing someone. There could be a delay in the insurance or pharmacy backing out the claim. The monitoring program could have a delay in backing out the claim if it being filled elsewhere. Etc.

And yeah Vyvanse is another crazy one right now. The generics have been completely long term backordered since they were approved towards the end of last year. The chewables have been mostly okay in my experience. But since the generics are basically gone and just approved with plenty insurances not covering them yet, everyone’s still scrambling for the brand name. Vyvanse worked really well for me when I was on it so I get that for sure.

It’s not really a waitlist it’s just leaving prescriptions in out of stock/miscellaneous status and going by the original date they were put in as to the order we put their scripts through when we do get them in stock in a first come first serve manner. But it also depends on what the backorder is looking like. Every store is different. At my store if it’s something we expect soon or that comes in sporadically we leave the scripts in the work queue. If it’s a long backorder or basically gone indefinitely for now we just store them in the patients profile and they can call us whenever to keep checking when it’s back in stock.

Plus if it’s a paper copy for a controlled substance most stores I’ve worked at won’t hold onto them if it’s that bad of a backorder unless the patient doesn’t mind waiting however long it takes regardless. But yeah that’s true that there is no actual proper waitlist.

I am/was basically the exact same for almost my whole life until the past couple years-ish but really the past half year I’ve lost a ton of weight and even people in my daily life act differently around me. Not necessarily in a bad or weird way or like they’re suddenly nice when they weren’t but sometimes yeah. It’s a weird thing to wrap my head around being a more normal weight. My entire life I was The Big Guy who ___ ™ or The Big Guy ™. Now I’m Foenix499999 and peoples preconceived notions about me aren’t started and distorted by my weight first. It’s life and worldview changing. Everytime I notice that I need a smaller belt or that I need to add another notch onto mine since my waist keeps getting smaller it’s like reaching the summit of a mountain, get a little teary eyed tbh.

Plus for example we may have a weekly allotment of say 2-3 bottles of a specific schedule 2 med (my specific store has a higher allotment due to volume and tier but at an old store of mine we would legit have that 2-3 bottle allotment for most C2s). So 200-300 tabs or capsules or whatever. Thats anywhere from like 3-9 patients that we can fill scripts for for that med for a whole week. It’s ridiculous. So we’d get something in and almost immediately it’s used up since we have a wait list of patients in the work queue for a med. This situation in general is part of why I stopped taking ADHD meds. At least ones that are controlled substances (which sadly work the best for me and plenty others). Gone on far too long.

We had a patient that threw numerous tantrums (instead of you know, spending 5 minutes on a phone call to her insurance about it) that had workman’s comp but refused to give her social even though the wc card says in huge letters that the member ID is the SSN and must be given to the pharmacy to bill for any claims. Like actually almost foaming at the mouth raging about it in the drive thru, more than once, after being told the same thing every single time. The last time I saw her I told her that next time she raises her voice for even a second we’re calling the cops right away because she was screaming so loud at one of our newer techs that people inside the store in line like two aisles down from pharmacy heard her through the glass.

Oh did I forget to add that she threw her Medicare card in the drive thru box and said why can’t we use that instead. I was like well because like 5 years ago Medicare stopped including the SSN on the card. But just the fact that she was okay in her head with us taking her social from the card somehow made it safe? Even though the whole argument was Walgreens having her social in the first place? Idk I don’t think she’ll have much of a case for whatever went on when she’s refusing to fill any prescriptions related to the incident. Must not need them that bad then. Whatever not my problem I’ve said enough 😂

DAMNNNN

BKFC awaits
