| - I assist an older woman with chronic back problems who has taken OxyContin for years to relieve her pain. For some reason the strength of the pill she takes is only carried at a handful of pharmacies, CVS being one, but only in the CVS pharmacies that are open 24 hours, as this one is. Another restriction that she has is that she can only drop off/pick up her meds when I'm around and can take her. She has one other friend who can help her and takes the same med, but her availability is sporadic. A couple months ago the pharmacist at this CVS wouldn't fill her prescription when I took her because she was there 2 days before the prescription ran out, which is perfectly legal, but the pharmacist said she smelled marijuana on the prescription paper!!! When my friend came back to the car and told me this I tried to get her to go back in and grab one of their piss tests and do it right there in front of the world to show the pharmacist what an ass she was, but she declined. I wound up having to take her the next day to get the prescription filled. The same week her friend of whom I referred before had her prescription filled with no problem, however, when she got home she got a phone call from CVS saying that THEY HAD MIS-DISPENSED 100 OF THE DRUG AND WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY HAD GIVEN HER 100 TO MANY!!!!! I stopped using CVS years ago after they showed how inept they are, have had my friends do the same, but this med at this prescribed strength is impossible to find elsewhere. Much ado was made about how brave CVS was in eliminating tobacco products, thereby loosing out on a 2 billion dollar intake. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out thar THEY'LL SIMPLY RAISE THE PRICES ON EVERYTHING ELSE TO MAKE UP FOR IT! I miss Revco.
