Insomnia

*rolls over for the 87th time*

*looks at the clock*

Typical day as a patient

*Requests meds from doctor*

*Doctor sends in meds*

*Go pick up meds from pharmacy*

*Wrong meds*

*Ask pharmacy to send in correction to doctor*

*Pharmacy neglects to send in correction to doctor*

*Call doctor about correcting meds*

*Doctor fixes med request and sends to pharmacy*

*Pharmacy is out of the meds*
