  • I had a little pharmacy freakout on a bad day. Today was tough. Abbie attacked me during a meltdown, we can't get her meds, I ate carbs...bad day. Her ABA therapy was approved so that's a good thing. We also had a massive PO box haul...another good thing. A bad day ended well.

    Find a small town Pharmacy(locally owned) and meet the pharmacist. Tell them your situation with Abbie.......let him or her meet Abbie. Then explain why youre switching to them potentially. Whats important and why.......Leave nothing out. They make money on each prescription they sell so they want your business. Hope this has gotten much better for you.

      That is what we did. We have state care and they rather we use a big pharmacy. But they approved the little pharmacy and we spread it across the county to all parents. So now the little pharmacy has double their patient accounts.

      This is exactly what I was going to say! Private owned Pharmacies are usually able to help out a little more than the chain ones. Chain pharmacies have corporate protocols. Locally run is so much better!!! Hopefully it’s better now!!!

    As an employee of Walgreens I can tell you we have the hardest time keeping employees :( especially in the pharmacy. I’m a tech and I’ve been at my store for a year and have seen three pharmacists, 6 techs, 3 managers, and 15 cashiers come and go. We don’t try to make things complicated I promise you that, sometimes we don’t get the information we need in order to fill a prescription and sometimes it’s just our VERY OUTDATED computer system. Like I am so tired of our system because it causes problems like this for no reason.
    Anyway I’m sorry this happened to you

    You guys aren’t exaggerating. It’s a messed up system. I’m constantly on the phone with doctors, insurance, lab work, pharmacist, etc. Luckily it’s usually the doctor office and not the pharmacy I go to which is CVS. I also have to double check on whatever they do and check fax numbers and phone numbers. You guys are rockstars!

  • @haleysowell5634

    💙 Coming from a pharmacy technician at a Walgreens, I would say the biggest issue is the particular one you go to. Any pharmacy, no matter what chain, is only as good as the people who work behind the counter. Unfortunately, sounds like you are going to a location that has a large turnover rate which means it’s hard to make that personal connection with the employees. Given your situation, I would agree with most of the comments that say to find a local pharmacy instead of a chain one. With them being smaller, it is easier to form a relationship with pharmacists and technicians which will mean better communication. But I promise not all Walgreens are bad!!! If you’re ever in Nashville TN come to the pharmacy and you’ll get true customer care. ☺️ BTW - I love watching you all! I’ve been part of the #Maassquad for a year now and your videos are the best part of my day. The positive energy you all put out is amazing. #BestFamilyOfTheCentury 💙 thank you for being you.

    This has happened to me with the pharmacy about two times with CVS. I take antidepressants and my insurance company and pharmacy really messed up and I couldn’t get my meds for a month. I had to take a lower dosage which was unfair because I had been taking the hire dosage for almost a year and it really messed my schedule up. It gets me so angry when the pharmacy and doctors aren’t communicating properly about your prescription and they seem not care about how important it is to stay on your meds.

    When I was about 8 my dad began teaching high school special needs and when I first met his class I thought they were weird and gross. After talking to my dad I learned that no one is perfect and one thing I noticed is that no matter how bad there condition was they were always smiling. I found your channel after watching "this is how we bingham". Thank you for showing us y'alls real life and after Abbie going to camp I learned that I would love to work at a camp and help kids.

    My mom has been in pharmacy for 30 years. Retail, hospital, even in the prison pharmacy. She could retire in another 10 years but shes seriously considering getting out of the industry. She hates all the red tape and having to upset patients etc. She worked for walgreens for a year and when i told her about this she got so upset. Whatever you do, DO NOT use CVS. As bad as walgreens is, CVS is worse. And youre right about Walgreens turnover. My mom HATED it there. Publix is hands down the best franchised pharmacy. PM me if you guys keep running into issues. My mom would be happy to help.

    Watching you guys talk about your pharmacy, and listening to your frustration. Made me chuckle a little. Please don’t take me wrong. I worked in Pharmacy for 35 years, and heard so many times that it wasn’t the doctor fault. It is so hard dealing with big chain pharmacy, because they have a protocol that has to be followed. You know, the big CEO’s make the decision on what’s the best way to run it. My advise is to go to a mom and pop shop or a grocery store pharmacy. My life got so much easier when I went to the mom and pop pharmacy. It ran so much smoother, and we all knew what was going on. We actually would call our customers and communicate with them. Hugs and love sent to all of you. You do such a great job. 💖💜💖

      DampCake Did you watch the video? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get prescriptions filled on time? I have cancer and I have multiple prescriptions. I have not gotten a prescription on time in
      YEARS. This is despite me constantly calling back and forth between the doctor’s office and pharmacy. Then they consistently charge me the wrong price. All we do is hound them to get things right. A lot of people don’t have much choice where to go. If you want to make money off me, do your job correctly and on time.

    • @EllysaE
      @EllysaE 4 роки тому +3

      Brigette Edinborough I will say it again. It is absolutely not the pharmacy’s job to ensure you have a valid prescription. That is your job. I understand you have and illness, I too have been ill and have also had to help my mom through some trying times. You bring your valid Rx in, or Dr sends it in on your behalf and the pharmacy does their part to fill and determine if it’s clinically appropriate. There are hundreds if not 1000s of patients at every pharmacy location, and I know firsthand that they CANNOT keep track of each and every files refills. It is just not possible. If your pharmacy is doing this for you it is purely a courtesy because they like you or they need the business.

    Hello! I love how active the both of you are in bringing awareness about autism! I have a six-year-old son who is on the spectrum that requires medication and I experienced the same exact thing that you guys were talking about with Walgreens. I got so fed up that I ended up switching pharmacies. I ended up switching to Kroger which is a grocery store chain in Texas where I live. I am so much happier because the pharmacist and techs at Kroger truly care about getting your medication to you and always having a supply of it. You can even talk to the pharmacist and tell them that you require this medication and they will make sure to have it in stock every month for you. They even allow me to get refills every 28 days. I highly recommend that you guys switch and get as far away as you can from Walgreens! I would definitely tell you not to try CVS because they are even worse than Walgreens. I highly recommend trying the chain of whatever grocery store exist where you guys live.

    I hate to hear y'all are having such trouble with Walgreens , definitely would say do not try Walmart, I know several people that have trouble there. For my family they have had the best experience at the mom and pop pharmacies in their local towns, I'm not sure what's available there in Jacksonville but maybe try one of those. I hope that helps in some way

      The 1 time I watched a sibling fill a script at walmart put me off Wal-Mart's pharmacy forever.
      They told us 30 min & after 30 min it wasn't ready. 15 min later there's a line of like 20 people waiting to pick up scripts. So picking up 1 script ended up taking like an hour.
      No idea what was going on, but it seemed strange that everyone's script was ready at the same time.
      I had a script that I took to target pharmacy (before they turned to cvs). Massive sinus infection, I hadn't slept in days, I never get sick & don't understand insurance cards well.
      I got charged a lot more than I thought I should & a sibling agreed, so they took my card in & pointed out the cashier didn't put in the right data so we got a refund. I was too exhausted & miserable to fight at the time, but i quit going there after that experience.
      We use a mix of cvs, mail order & costco. Nothing against walgreens, cvs is just easier.

    I would just like to say that you guys are such an inspiration, and I've found myself binge watching your vlogs for the past 2 days now. 😁 I've worked with children on the spectrum with therapy for a short time, and it is challenging at times. But the progress even though it may be small, is monumental!! I have started to watch your vlogs with my 11 year old daughter because she has a friend at school that has autism, that has always felt comfortable around her. His 1 on 1 teacher has actually asked for my daughter to help out a few times when he was difficult to calm down. I am proud of my daughter for not shying away from someone just because they have special needs. I feel that it is important for her to understand what autism is, and your channel has helped alot. She has stood up for him when other kids have made fun of him, and will always insist that he is no different from her. He may stim or makes noises that are sometimes loud, but she says "That's just who he is, and that doesnt bother me, I'm ok with that!" With having a young daughter, that didnt even know a whole lot about autism, I can say that was one of the proudest moments I've ever had.
    On a side note, have you guys ever looked into a company called pill pack? It's an Amazon based company I believe, and they deliver your medication already individually packed and sorted out. It's a free service, and you just pay the normal copays you would at any pharmacy. I haven't tried it, but it might be something to look into if your having trouble getting Abbie's medication from a chain pharmacy.

    I work as a medical assistant for family practice and deal with this daily. I do NOT recommend chain pharmacy's! Use the pharmacy in your doctor's office, these pharmacists are so great they walk over to the office staff to get prescriptions fixed fast. You can also look into pill packing company's and mail order. Hope this helps. New to the channel! Love your channel.

    I know it may not be helpful, but I use a smaller family owned pharmacy. It helps. They know me and my doctor. It cuts out a lot of big box cooperation confusion. Try to find a family pharmacy if that’s possible.

      You said it! Whether it's brick and mortar or mail order, there is some sort of problem almost every time. I take Humira for ulcerative colitis, a medication that's over $6,000 a month without insurance. I have come so close to not having it when I needed it several times. I talk to one person, they tell me to talk to another person, that person tells me to talk the first person again, and so on. I've had countless issues with different medications, pharmacies, doctor's offices, etc. It's unacceptable and it's the last thing you want to deal with when you're not feeling well.

    Ok Guys, this vlog took me back. I have 4 children with special needs. They are 15, 18,19,20... when they were little the meds started and we went through many many issues with pharmacies. Some of our kids were on duplicate meds and some had allergies to Thier siblings meds. It was at times a very confusing dangerous situation. I was completly overwhelmed and when you have 4 children with clinically diagnosed insomnia who are all prescribed clonodine for sleep, it was a complete crisis when it fell through the cracks. Finally my husband went in to Krogers and asked to speak with the main Pharmacist. He asked them for an apointment to sit down and talk about our families needs. She was happy to talk him and he said no. I want an alloted time for us to sit down and discuss some case management here. She did this and when they had the meeting he explained to her he knows every single customer is important but because of the nature of our children's needs in order to stay we needed a dedicated case manager to over see our children's care. Not a tech. A pharacist. He told her he NEEDS her to commit to over seeing every single prescription. We had 4 kids on multiple meds and this was a lot to ask. She was willing to do this for us and it's now almost 20 years later and this is still our pharmacy. I understand not all Pharmacist stick around but I'm telling you my husband marching in there was the best decision he ever made for our children's medical care. You have every right to expect this from your pharmacy and I believe your pharmacy has dropped the ball one too many times. I wish you all the luck in the world because I KNOW the stress this must put you under. Sorry for the Long reply but I'm not kidding when I tell you it changed our lives for the better.

    I’m sorry about your bad Pharmacy experience. I am a certified pharmacy technician who works in a closed pharmacy for extended care(long term care). I understand your frustration. A lot of our issues is usually based on insurance, trying to get a hold of the doctor, and the availability in regards to the medication. So I do understand your frustration. I recommend CVS Pharmacy.

    Hi, I live in the same city as you do. I WAS a Walgreens customer for over 20 years. Like you, I started having horrible problems with Walgreens. Unfortunately, it never got better.
    I found the BEST pharmacist ever. Roberts Southbank Pharmacy, it’s at the end of Atlantic, technically in San Marco. Gary Roberts is the owner and the pharmacist and he is outstanding. The local media goes to him to help explain different things that are going on in our community on TV.
    I know this video is a year or so old and I wish I had seen it in a more timely manner but I hope this information gets to you and helps you.
    We have lived a similar life, I’m just a decade or so ahead of you. I hope one day I will get to meet you at one of the meet and greets.
    BTW, I love Abby’s art!! You are a very blessed family and I truly enjoy watching your videos.
    Much love,

    As person who worked at pharmacy it is usually the insurances fault. You need to find that one person behind the pharmacy who cares and will fight for you. I can tell you often the Techs and the Pharmacists are just as annoyed as their paients. Try a new location or a new branded store.
