I went to a Urologist to get some advice on otc medications I was taking to support a chronic condition I have. I asked the doctor whether these medications were safe to take long term. The doctor told me he didn't know and that I should ask my primary doctor. It was Tylenol 8 hour. The label says don't take longer than 10 days. I was kind of shocked that he said that. Is he not a doctor that would know if I could take it long term for this condition? He then said the training he received 20 years ago is not the same as the training they give today? I guess I need to see a doctor that has recently gone to medical School in order to get proper care. I then asked him if he could change my prescription to a 3 month prescription instead of monthly since it currently has to be approved every month in order for me to refill it. He said if I change it to a 3 month supply it would be more expensive. Well that isn't true. It's actually less expensive. I've been paying more every month when I could have been paying less every 3 months. I pay a lot for this insurance and rarely use it. When I do these are the experiences I get. I may switch insurances next open enrollment. The convenience of one location is becoming less a factor now.
