Am I the only one feeling extorted by my pharmacy or are there others?
I don't mind paying the full reduced, PSB fee on my medication scripts, even though many other pharmacists reduce them.
Earlier this year they started adding a $5 delivery fee, which sounded fair (even though I live 2 blocks away).

Recently, they added a $5 charge for each blister pack (more than $20 per month). I thought of packing the blister packs myself, but because I am bedbound I will require the medication to be delivered. This could result in well over the $20 fee, so I scrapped that idea.
I phoned another pharmacist in the area who charges $15 per delivery; due to being further away.
Now I'm paying over $300 per year more, just for the blister packs (excluding the medication costs).
Is this the norm now?

Money grabbers.

Be interesting to hear everyones views on the Menendez brothers who killed their parents in 1996.

It seems like there were extenuating circumstances which are now being take into account. What an awful story and the family are appearing to want their release. Shows how important it is to talk about and accept occurrences

I am understanding that mental health issues are on the rise, what cramps me is that it appears that there are no psychiatrists in victoria that bulk bill, hard to access help when it is totally unaffordable, any thoughts?

Have you contacted LIFELINE bjakes: ??.........maybe they can help steer you in the right direction. Good luck in finding some support, there is plenty around to help you.
