I cannot tell you how any times I have ranted the same exact rant. Then they ask me "How can you let this any days go by without contacting MY doctor about why he hasn't approved MY refill?!" "Gee I dunno, guess I didn't care as much as I might if it were MY refill" Please take a hint! I am waiting on hundreds of return calls from prescribers. I don't police them on whether they auth refills or not. I do this as a courtesy to YOU. Whether or not your doc auth's the refills is between YOU and HIM/HER. Ahmen!

They're going to have to pick up and talk sooner or later. Why piss everyone off first?
