I ended up spending an additional $369 at the ER to get the pain med prescription filled, The doctor provided number just rang and rang, no one answered. The pharmacy could not contact the doctor (surgeon) so the only way to get the prescription transferred to a pharmacy that had it was to get admitted to the ER so I could take the med before bedtime as the doctor said to do. Over 10% of my entire surgery copay had to be spend in addition just to fill the prescription. I am furious about the inability to contact the prescribing doctor. The call answering service was useless. The nurse never called me back until 2pm-ish the following day. NEVER LET A PATIENT LEAVE THE HOSPITAL WITH OUT THE REAQUIRED DAYS SUPPLY OF MEDS. Massive failure costing me hundreds resulted.
