Okay, at this point my drug saga has gotten so Hobbie-esque that it's crossed over from frustrating to... kinda funny.

I called Student Health today to see if the doctor who wrote my prescription was in today. She was not, and wasn't scheduled to be in until May 31st. The obvious one being that that's an awfully long time from now. Not only would that be a pretty good chance of the migraines coming back, if I go off the pills the side effects always hit really hard when I go back on them. Don't want that.

So obviously I made an appointment with a different doctor. It was a pretty simple thing, it was 9:50 and they were able to get me in at 10:30. Figured it meant my morning would be shot, but otherwise fine. So I get to Student Health at 10:15 and go to the computer to check in. I got a message saying I was late for my appointment and should talk to the receptionist. Confusing.

So over to the receptionist I go. She agrees that it is definitely still 10:15 and searches the computer only to find... there is no appointment for me in the system. She asked what it was for and as I explained it she remembered that she was the one who made my appointment. Weird. She eventually decided she must have entered it on the wrong screen.

Long story short, they were able to squeeze me in and I now have drugs. Now I just have to figure out how to cut these tiny pills in half. :p

Buy a pill cutter? They're relatively cheap, iirc, and seriously, it's so not worth the headache to use a knife. Pill cutters are AWESOME.

I figured there had to be something like that in existence. I'm going to go check out what Shopper's has tonight.

They're seriously amazing. Like, you put the pill in the little thing and you close the lid and voilà, your pill is in two pieces. :D Dad had one for years, but he doesn't have pills he needs to cut anymore. As I recall, though, it worked well for amitriptyline.

That does sound brilliant.

My dentist has a self check in computer, but I'm too scared to use it. Although I wish that my doctor had it. Sometimes I'm a couple of minutes before my appointment and then because the receptionists are so inept or slow I end up being a good five minutes late! It's so annoying.

Ours are really easy to use... as long as you don't have an out of province health card. :p It's just student number, confirm information, health card number, health card version code.
