So I go to the doctor yesterday because my ears are kinda stopped up. He gives me a prescription and tells me to also get an over-the-counter drug, Mucinex-D. Last night I went to the pharmacy and I had gotten there too late; the pharmacy was closed. I figured that I could at least pick up the OTC drug, but no such luck. There was a sign saying that I had to get it from the pharmacist.
Today I went in to get my prescription and the OTC drug, and to get the Mucinex-D, I had to have the pharmacist run my drivers' license and sign something that looked like a loyalty oath! I remarked to the pharmacist that I didn't even have to do that for prescription drugs, and he said that the law says they have to track people who buy anything with pseudoepinephrine in it.
Great. So now just because my ears are stopped up, I'm in a database somewhere as a potential speed lab chemist. What kind of absolute madness is this?
