But even most pharmacies don't really have more than 1 or 2 jars of a medicine in stock, except for larger places like KMart. They just reorder on a daily basis. It costs the same no matter what. And that plastic jar can't be more than a few cents... I do understand the time involved needs to be pa...

With cheap meds, it will sometimes work out this way. Because we cannot buy in bulk and stock a lot of any particular medications, we have a miminum dispensing charge (for us, it is $9). So even if you get 1 pill, it is still $9. We don't raise the price until the cost of the pills is more than the ...

When we were at Cornell you had to pay in full at the time services were rendered. They had CareCredit brochures and flyers all over as I recall.

We're waiting 1-2 weeks to start the Leukeran as she wants his ulcer to have time to heal (we added in pepcid a...

Mikey is doing about the same... He vomited up what looked like coffee grounds today, so I called his internist. She is starting him on Pepcid for a couple weeks. We also decided we might as well wean him off the dex and try leukeran. We'll do a week of Pepcid, then start Leukeran and wean the dex. ...
