[quote=Anonymous]OP. Thank you so much for all the responses. I never did get a prescription despite trying. In case anyone is interested in reading about this (perhaps it will serve as a warning to never forget your meds :). I haven't ever in my life before and will 'think twice' before forgetting again ;) I did call at 10am and got the number of the on-call doc, let's call this doc X. On calling, the answering service said this number belongs to doc Y who is out of the country. I looked up the number of doc X mentioned by my doc's office. I call and am told to wait for 30-60 mins. I didn't receive a call so called at the 70th minute. I am told to wait some more. So at the 3rd hour, I call back and then learn that doc X is out of the country (also). I ask who her backup is. I am given the name and told to wait to receive a call from them, let's call them doc z. I have poor signal in my room and am in the hotel lobby for most of this. Upon calling yet again, am told that doc z is 'adamant' they are not on call and cannot help despite being told what this is for. The answering service person is frustrated at this and I keep reassuring her how helpful she has been and it's not her fault. At this point, I call my doc's office. The doc on call, calls me back and says there is no way I can feel bad in 3-4 days as thyroid med stays in the system for a week so I should be fine till I return. I can try and convince a local pharmacy to give me meds for a few days but he cannot send in a prescription. I had checked with a pharmacy and they said prescription or bust even if it's just thyroid medication. My DH is right - concierge medicine is the way to go.... [/quote]
