Patiently waiting for @elonmusk to expose the PBMs for destroying modern day healthcare but posting skyrocketing profits 🥴 did I mention putting independent pharmacies out of business

You tip your pizza driver more than we make in profit on Rx's.
Think about that for a second.
The person who delivered your pizza makes more in a tip than the person who is making sure the drugs your 3 specialists (who heaven forbid talk to each other or share information) send over wont kill you or land you in the hospital.
This includes such things as:
eRx typos that would overdose your kid (I made about $1.10 over the cost of the goods on that one).
Your cardio starting you on amioderone without letting the coumadin clinic know to lower your dose.
Having your cardio put you on NTG sublingual or isordil while your GP gives you viagra.
The list goes on and on.
Nobody sees value in pharmacists until we fuck up, then we're thrown under the bus by doctors, patients, everyone.
I'm fucking tired of being the human shield of medicine all while we drown because politicians are addicted to lobbing money and patients are addicted to getting shit for free.
When we're all gone and you're nothing but a fucking number to some shellshocked chain pharmacist pulling his 11th hour into their shift you're gonna be sad, and I'm just going to laugh at you.

I’m that level of lazy where if I’m buying something online and my credit card info isn’t saved or Apple Pay is available, I’m not buying it 🤷‍♀️

@MeghanKDKA @KDKA Thank you for shedding light on this very hushed matter! We were one of the 30 independents that had to close our doors this year. If you ever need more information, have questions, or need proof of the ridiculous practices these PBMs are getting away with, we’d be happy to help!

[MEGHAN SCHILLER @MeghanKDKA]

AT 6- KDKA Investigates the closures of so many independent pharmacies so far this year.

The numbers are staggering.

We’re talking with 5 independent pharmacists about why they’re struggling , what they’re blaming & how they’re demanding change.

@jesswalter23 Highly recommend a Sam’s club plus membership! Earl shopping hours, in peace 😍 and free delivery lol

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

@blondenerdx Not to take away from your complaint, but welcome to the world of a pharmacist. No chairs, no time to sit, eat or pee 😵‍💫😵‍💫

@abc550802 Quicksand! Compliments of Donkey Kong

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

@BHindPBMCurtain @DButterfieldRPh @SanjayP68 @linakhanFTC @BedoyaFTC @SecBecerra @CMSGov We were just forced to close our pharmacies doors for good after over 75 years of business thanks to poor reimbursements

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

@abc550802 😂😂 you’re probably right

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

@abc550802 lol take lots of pictures! If you were closer you could take my snowmobile suit, helmet included 😂

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

@abc550802 Are you going Sunday?! What an awesome game to be at

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

@theangrypharm It was also our mantra that “we just need to survive long enough for change to happen” and we closed our doors to the community yesterday. Couldn’t wait any longer. Things NEED to change, or this country is going to be in even bigger trouble than it already is.

[The Angry Pharmacist @theangrypharm]

Getting more phone calls from people wanting to xfer to us because their pharmacy doesnt have a med in stock.
All have been trade name meds. All are under cost.
We're out of stock of those meds too.
Pushing DIR's to the POS prevents hiding under-cost shit in the sea of claims.

[The Angry Pharmacist @theangrypharm]

The Battle Plan 2024 (a thread):
--Facts--
1. FTC aint going to help us in time. APhA will never help us. We're on our own.
2. Pushing the DIR's to the POS shows us what claims we are underwater on (vs hiding them in COB hell in 6 months).

@MageeMC @my_tv_life Maalox * I need to learn how to proofread

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

@MageeMC @my_tv_life Exactly. I’ll just start asking docs for lidocaine only scripts and instruct the patients to buy mason and Benadryl OTC. Most patients can successfully mix equal parts 🙄

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

Can attest almost 2 years later that was the last of my quiet mornings by myself 😅

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

Taking in the rainy, cool morning with a few windows cracked, sitting on my sun porch, enjoying my coffee, the rain and nature sounds.

I say this because in two weeks I’ll have a crying newborn and most likely never get to do this again for the next 18 years 🥴

[MRC @CrattyMeg]

@my_tv_life @MageeMC We were just told by a higher up at Rite Aid that even the it’s are still considered compounding and not allowed 😵‍💫
