I am looking for a new family doctor as I am having so much stress with the family dr plus the pharmacy team. None of them do math well so that your quantity is the same for refills along with quality. Why is the Healthcare getting worse instead of better?  
 
Ex: you only have 2 refills of this pres:cription. The other pres:cription item you have 3 refills however both of the items have the same amount of quantity in them.  
When asking the dr and pharmacy team to fax and send a pres:cription for 1 more refill on the pres:cription that only has 2 refills so it now equals 3 & 3. According the the Dr and Pharmacy I'm hearing we can't and the dr won't allow it as 3 is the max and not 4. Well that's all I wanted was 3 max.  
So now you Healthcare team are looking at refills telling me it would be 4 & 2 and that was never requested by me. All I wanted it to be was 3 & 3. Than refills can be equal at the same time when the next time comes around after this refill.  
 
 
Does anyone know of a better pharmacy team and family dr as this is so stressful to try and get through to our family doctor and the pharmacy team.  
 
 
My spouse is also not impressed with the family doctor or pharmacy team.

If I am reading correctly, you want all your medications to be picked up at the same time, is that correct?  
 
Some medications can only be dispensed 30 days at a time, with a maximum of total 90 days. Is that one of the meds you are referring to?  
 
Many pharmacies will work with clients to minimize the number of trips you need to make to the store to pick up your meds. Have you gone in and talked to them in person about it?  
 
Have you considered having your medications bubble packed? Have you considered using a pharmacy that delivers?
