GL: Prescription drugs

[Henry Quigley]

We are having our doctors give us prescriptions for one year and are having them filled at Wal Mart for three months. We are told that Wal Mart in other states will fill them when the three months are up.
We are taking copies of our medical records with us so that at the end of the year we can see a doctor and get another prescription.
