Scott works for a software company whose product is a web-based medication tracking system for assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. They work in the same building as, and as partners with, a pharmacy.
This is amazing.
Here's why:
Since the two companies work together (and are owned by the same group of investors), we get benefits! Whenever we need over-the-counter medications, like Tylenol or Benadryl or whatever, the pharmacy orders it in for us. We get it the next day, and it's at cost. That means that the pharmacy doesn't upcharge at all. They just make us pay for what they pay (wholesale price).
Here's an excellent example: I've been suffering from a number of symptoms the past few days, most of which I won't go into right now, but one of them is urinary pain. LOVELY. So, I needed some Azo. Walgreen's has a box of 32 for $9, but I got it from our pharmacy for $2. I FREAKING WIN.
And the pain's gone, too!
Seriously, like I really wanted a UTI right now.Again.
that's about the sweetest thing ever. my codeine cough syrup was $34 for 600 milliliters. that is stupid.
ReplyDeletei feel like that "the rent is too damn high!" guy, except that in my case, the medicine is too damn expensive.
