Dee Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 That's unbelievable. I hope they have to pay and pay and pay out their asses!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Elvis Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I always figured they did stuff like that but wrote it off to me being paranoid. Guess I was right. I really should look into getting mine filled by mail. It costs less that way and it's more private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophelia Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 stuff like this just sucks.... i mean, i've been paranoid about my meds MANY times bc i get my perscriptions filled at a local private pharmacy that my parents have been using for my whole life... and longer. i am always getting a refill of something and I, by far, take more meds than anyone in my family... also, they sometimes hire some people from the high school as part time employees and delivery people (yes, they *deliver* perscriptions!). when i was actuallyin high school, i was paranoid about the people who worked there knowing what meds i was on... ugh, people just suck sometimes...

praxis Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 What a bigoted, mean, idiotic bunch of asshats! This is not only slanderous, it's also a blatant HIIPA violation. I hope she sues them for everything they have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kablume Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I always feel funny when I get my meds filled. Seems like the pharmacist is always smiling at me. No wonder since I have been going there for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wifezilla Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 And they wonder why people would take the chance of ordering meds from overseas. Sheesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g8orgirl Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I actually used to live in West Palm, not far from that Walgreens. That's just so wrong that they did that. I used to have one pharmacist at a CVS talk to me like I was a child when she would hand me my meds. She'd be like "You know you have to take them everyday to be normal". She would say it real slow, like I was dumb. Now I know I'm not just being paranoid about the people judging you when you gets your scripts.

ncc1701 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Heya, Ah crap. Just. Crap. Most pharmacists are so professional!!! I have two in different towns. They are both very professional. I'm interested to see what they say about this. Seriously, most of them are knowledgeable and professional. Here anyways. Ick. Thanks ehygon for bringing this to our attention. --ncc-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunaRufina Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 A link to an [not THE, sorry] article, posted on another site. http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2006/03/1726176.php And a link to Walgreens' "Notice of Privacy Practices". http://www.walgreens.com/help/noticeprivacypractices.jsp pfft. It doesn't seem to mean anything, as while they say they are "...required to follow the terms of this Notice... [and] ...will not use or disclose your PHI without your written authorization, except as described or otherwise permitted by this Notice." STILL- "We reserve the right to change our practices and this Notice and to make the new Notice effective for all PHI we maintain. Upon request, we will provide any revised Notice to you. " It can be changed one won't know what has been change unless you ask, if they have already given you the initial privacy notice. ...is that right?
