Illness And Hospital Stay


On Friday March 30th, I was admitted to the Lehigh Valley Hospital with pancreatitis. I was an inpatient for eight days. I couldn't have received better care. The physicians and staff were great.
My pancreatitis was the result of my not being able to get my Lipitor prescription filled due to it being rejected by my health insurance.
The pharmacy was willing to fill the prescription, but I would have paid over $5.00 a pill! That's over $160.00 a month!
Now, I'm back healthy again and taking the different (Cheaper) medication that my insurance provider wants me to take.
It really is the tail wagging the dog!
