I’d believe everything Walgreens said long before I’d believe anything the Department of “Justice” said.
“This lawsuit seeks to hold Walgreens accountable for the many years that it failed to meet its obligations when dispensing dangerous opioids and other drugs”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Dangerous drugs like mRna vaccines?
Something does not read right about this. I am not saying Walgreens did no wrong, but seriously they want us to believe Walgreens is the reason for the opioid crisis? Reads like a Deep State DOJ psyop
Sigh.
Just one more asinine order for Pam Bondi to overturn when she takes office.
Monday can’t come soon enough.
Clot shot?
Slightly off topic but Walgreen’s, like CVS, has a stupid business model. They both have huge stores, but 95+% of the people who go there only go to pick up medicine. They don’t even think about buying any of the overpriced other items that make up the rest of the store. CVS has been closing stores right and left. Expect Walgreen’s to be next.
They won’t stop until the only thing a Dr. Will give you for severe pain is advil. I hope I never get another kidney stone.
Is that really up to the pharmacist? The doctor writes the Rx.
States regulate doctors and prescriptions.
It is up to the state to regulate the doctors.
States can limit the amount of a drug sold in their state.
A state can outlaw the import of a drug into the state.
A state can require prior approval, just like insurance companies do.
This is just a money grab.
All the Rite Aids in Michigan closed.
Many CVS and now a lot of Walgreens’ are shutting down, too.
I want them to be open and convenient for me.
Not a government delivery scam with all online or whatever they have in mind to replace drug stores.
I know the overpriced health and beauty aids and the convenience store level food and beverage prices in the non-Rx part of the stores are being passed over by consumers. But I want real brick and mortar stores open. (As all know I am a Luddite.)
Two of my fascinating true stories:
Elderly Chinese woman’s long delayed diabetic supplies from the online supplier ended up somehow in my package bin at my apartment building. Apparently delayed for a couple of weeks and sent to another wrong address first._So I walked out and looked for her address one cold night and her maybe 19 yr.old niece hesitatingly came to the apartment building glass door after I held up a box.
She said she is going to college here and is now taking care of her aunt who lives with her, and the aunt has been crying because the online place insisted they already sent her supplies and they were marked “delivered” online and she couldn’t get more. Now I solved it by taking the package to her building.
2nd. Husband of my coworker also had a “delivered” online record but it was NOT delivered. His medication was vital but the doctor refused since he gave the Rx once for the online place and his computer said “delivered”, the online place would not duplicate it, and his old in person brick and mortar pharmacist said he could not just supply him any. At the last minute before running out
his doctor considered the effect of his patient ending up soon in the ER, he relented and was able to convince the appeals department of the online company to send the medication. Highly stressful.
I hate the internet age.
Is Biden getting kickbacks from CVS?
My aunt’s primary care doctor had a sign in his office saying he did not write opioid prescriptions.
He expected surgeons to write all necessary post-surgery prescriptions.
He wasn’t a first-class doctor overall, but he knew about drugs.
Headline does not match content.
Content makes sense. Headline does not.
If a doctor issues a prescription, it isn’t the job of the pharmacist to question whether it’s medically necessary. That’s between the doctor and the patient. They aren’t doctors, and have no authority when it comes to deciding who needs what drugs. Besides, with the HIPPA laws, people’s health records are supposed to be private. No pharmacist has access to a person’s health records, and the DOJ isn’t medically qualified to determine if a script is necessary or not.
Total BS. The DoJ is practicing medicine. They are doing a horrible job of it.
Prescription opioids have plummeted with opioid deaths have increased. Prescription opioids are de facto illegal. Now post op patients and terminal CA patients have a lot of trouble getting opioids for pain control.
BS. Pure revenge for Walgreens closing stores in the hood.
And conveniently times to set up yet another Trump bashing narrative.
” Trump drops Walgreens case proving he hates blacks and wants them addicted to opioids and unable to fill their prescriptions in the hood.”
In all of U.S. history, I do not believe that there has ever been an administration go rogue in its closing months in the way that the Biden minions have done. The cages have been opened and the flying monkeys have been released.
Real addicts of these drugs can skirt the seeming “illegalities” by having residences, temporary or otherwise, in more than one state, with doctors in each state, and often different doctors in the same state and all while using different pharmacies - the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. I knew a guy who was taking multiple opiod pain killers daily, with prescriptions from different doctors in Kansas and Illinois that he was careful to have filled by different pharmacies for each doctor.
This is a BS case. Pharmacies do not review medical records nor determine the appropriateness of prescriptions That is the prescribing physician’s responsibility.
This case should be tossed. It is a blatant money grab. It would be interesting to see how much congress critters own in competitor’s stock.
Sounds like a nationwide pill mill. Probably the top dog is named, “Hunter”. Of course, 10% to the Big Guy.
