CVS Pharmacy

I have been using this CVS for many years. Courtney is the pharmacy manager and I think she is the Bee's Knees. She knows about medicine whether over the counter or prescription. Courtney always keeps her cool and believe me she has to deal with a lot as this is the busiest CVS in town. I just wanted ya'll to know how great she REALLY is.

I have been using the CVS on Macintosh and Bee Ridge for over a year. I was attacked and almost killed leaving me with a broken neck that had to be fused in two places, broken ribs next to my T spine that resulted in a bone spur sticking into my spinal cord that is the equivalent of having a lodged bullet next to your spinal cord that is inoperable and my skull so beat in that I have a lesion on my brain and now have memory and focusing problems along with seizures. My regular store was out of my hydrocodone (I used to be prescribed oxycodone but asked my doc to put me on this because of the trouble I had filling them) so they told me to go to THIS store. I spoke to the head tech Courtney and even though she had all my information and called my store she said no because I actually should not have needed them until the 5th.(I filled on the 4th the month before and get up at 6am so this made no sense.) I returned on the 5th and she came up with another excuse that my doc was out of the area and she didn't "know" him. Really? Are our pharmacies supposed to be intimately connected to all physicians they fill for? Anyway, that doc was the closest one to here that took my insurance at the time. I offered for him to call her, she already called my regular store, and with Florida's database, she surely would have seen my meds have been coming from this doc and this doc ONLY for over a year. I have a perfect pain management record, my doctor does routine urinalysis and keeps their track records as well. The head tech at this store has a serious God complex and enjoys to make people suffer I guess, so if you try to use this store because you are an unfortunate victim of pain, be prepared to have people look at you as though you are a drug addict and become another victim of the worst kind, judgmental prejudice. If you aren't 80 or in a wheel chair or God forbid on medicaid (maybe even prettier!) for whatever reason besides the facts you will be walking out feeling like a PARIAH!!
