What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard? I’ll go first…

My elderly Mom fell and broke her arm. She’s 80-something, and already had a prescription for loritab for pain unrelated to her arm. I tried to get her a refill from her primary because weekend was coming.

The nurse on the phone asked me if mom was an addict and needed an emergency prescription. I said “no, she’s 80-ish with a broken arm and in pain!”

This nurse told me that unless Mom was a junkie, they wouldn’t give her a refill. And that’s when I said

“Well THAT’S the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard”
