I’m wondering how many other readers have had the experience with local drug chains whereby unrequested prescriptions are filled as much as two weeks earlier than they are due. It doesn’t matter if the doctor has said take “only as necessary,” or that the doctor has reduced the dosage because intermediate goals have been achieved. If CVS and Walgreens think it’s time for you to get re-upped, they fill and they phone.
Repeated calls asking customers to retrieve (unordered) drugs comes with scary messages that threaten that unretrieved drugs may not be able to be obtained if timelines are missed.
When did it get this way? Why did we lose control?

Today’s headlines covering the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas demonstrations across the country in cities and on many a campus are eerily reminiscent of my youth in the late 1960s. Anti-Vietnam sentiment divided us who were being conscripted to prosecute a war we...
It’s exciting to hear that the first of 12 wind turbines has been installed to provide clean energy for eastern Long Island. The turbines will catch the steady breezes 35 miles out, invisible from the beach. While good news, South...
