Apparently, I have Angina

[prosodic]

You learn something new everyday.

So it all started Monday when I called my doctor's office to switch out a prescription. She took me off my bc pill and put me on the Nuva Ring. Well, after 3 months of using that, I absolutely hate it, so I called to get switched back to the pill.

A short while later, the doc's office called me back to confirm that they called my prescription into Target and I could go pick it up.

I tried to pick it up later on that day. Target told me that they had absolutely no record of the prescription.

So the next morning I called the doctor's office again. I was told that they had indeed called the scrip into Target, but that they would do it again for good measure.

Today I was in Target. Checked at the pharmacy counter. Again, no record of my prescription.

Now I was getting angry. Since my doc's office is just a couple miles down the hill anyway, I decided to go there in person.

Walked in and talked to a person at reception. She looked up my record.

"Oh yes. Target called us on Tuesday evening to reject your prescription. According to their records, you have a history of Angina, and they refuse to fill your scrip."

*blink blink*

What?

I started laughing, almost maniacally. "Angina? Wouldn't I know if I had that? Wouldn't it be in my medical records?"

So I was told to sit in the waiting room and a nurse would speak with me.

She came out a short time later and was kind of chuckling. She explained that she was the one who called in my prescription. No, she has no idea where Target got this idea that I had Angina, and when she asked them about it, they told her that I gave them that information.

Uh....okay.

So then I asked her why they had no problem filling my Nuva Ring prescription, yet refuse to give me Ortho Tri-Cyclen. It was my understanding that they had roughly the same hormones.

"I was wondering that myself," she said.

We laughed.

So anyway...my doctor will take care of this tomorrow. And if Target insists that I cannot have this prescription, they will call it into Walgreens for me.

*rolls eyes*

That's it. My stupid quota has been met for today.

One day, while abroad in France, I was supposed to meet a prof but he had left a note on his door cancelling all his appointments, saying he had a bit og the 'angine' was going home but would be back the next day. I didn't know the word' angine' but thought it was angina, since they do look very similar. I was quite surprised that this prof thought he could get over angina in one day, but then someone explained to me that 'angine' is a mysterious throat disease the French get get when they don't wear scarves.
