isnt that nice. one of the dealers of death is getting compassion.
Don't use CVS now, but I'd change if I did. They are not my doctor. It is not their job to second guess my prescribed pain control.
The pharmacy making these decisions is like the insurance companies deciding that you can't have a certain test or drug or surgery. It's not their decision to make--it's the physician's.
Sounds like CVS may be heading for a lawsuit. They can't deny healthcare prescribed by a physician. It's not my fault crackheads are ending up on heroin. Don't blame the innocent who are in need of pain medication which was rightfully prescribed to the patient.
