Missed appointment

Philippines
November 4, 2018 11:06pm CST
I woke up late and remembered that Grandma need to go to have a visit with our Doctor. The reason is that she ran out in one of her medications and needs a new prescription from our doctor here. I tried purchasing the medication over the counter but there was not any similar meds that she has. Better make the appointment by Wednesday because he might go to the US any time soon for an family event.

@dave121495 I don't know about that. My Grandma is 90 years old she's not having dementia or anything.

@dave121495 And furthermore it has some side effect, one is memory loss. That's why I don't like my mother taking it.

I guess you do have to prepare your grandma for that. Will you be accompanying her to US? I think it is quite easy to travel with senior right now because you would have a lot of lines bypassed because of her being senior citizen.

so true. those who are specialists once in a while would be either out of the country for conferences/training or family/personal reasons, or giving a lecture/speech.

It can be easy to let a prescription run out. I hope you're able to get the pills you need.

@Letranknight2015 Here we have different health plans and most of the meds I get I need a prescription from the doctor but there are things I can buy at the pharmacy that do not need a prescription. Good idea to make an appointment again.
