This is one of my problems. I have huge brain fog and am generally disorgized anyway. With regard to pharmacies, I have an "expect the worst" attitude because I know any number of things could go wrong.
I've been picking up meds twice a month for 20 years under various insurance plans and different docs and at different stores now and I've seen things go wrong.
Things can go wrong because of a screw up by me or from any number of people in the chain (the docs screw up certainly) but they can also go wrong because of nothing that I could ever anticipate -- even after all these years of practice of trying to get it right.

I think that is rare, tho.

These problems are
rare indeed.
But I think that many (not all) of us would not bother to report. I certainly don't have the energy or the will.
And I can't explain things very well due to memory issues and brain fog so when I am in the situation I have strong doubts that my case would be taken seriously by anyone who can help.
It's frustrating and scary to feel so dependent on
everyone in the health care team.
