Teladoc has the best of intentions, but it can’t stick the landing. Getting a doctor on the phone and diagnosed with the flu was easy and quick...enough. Where it falls apart is with prescriptions. The first pharmacy I chose was using the list generated by the Teladoc App. It went through just fine. But when I called to see when my prescription would be done, that is when I fell into the deep dark abyss that is their method for re-routing a prescription, which seems to involve bumping to the end of a very long line of other people that also found themselves in a bind. Almost whopping four hours later, now at 3 am, I called the new pharmacy only to discover...they don’t have Tamiflu. Porting it to get a new place would probably now take another 4 hours, so just paid yet another $5 to talk to yet another doctor just to get the prescription sent to the right place. It’s been ten minutes since the call and I don’t see a new prescription. I can tell that I’m going to end up at my doctor’s office in the morning, having been up all night trying to get this prescription and $10 poorer for my efforts. So far, Teladoc was a massive waste of my time. And money. And flagging energy under the weight of the worst flu season in years.
