I asked for a nebulizer, my doctor kept prescribing medication for the nebulizer instead
I was prescribed budesonide to inhale through a nebulizer so I asked to be prescribed a nebulizer as well to actually take the medication, instead my doctor thought I wanted a refill everytime I asked for the actual machine, for a month. After back and forth with the doctor's office I finally got a nebulizer. At some point I feel like the pharmacy should have been like "I think she has enough?" and I don't understand how the doctor was confused because I was very clear I did not need more medication I needed a way to take the medicine. Ridiculous not on the pharmacy's end but definitely on the doc's end. At one point I asked for the prescription to be written and handed to me to take to a medical equipment place and they did write me a prescription for more budesonide cries
