Calling the doctor's office because my spouse can't get her meds a couple months ago:

Nurse: well she should have made an appointment
Me: she did? She was just there last month.
Nurse: well she didn't talk about that med. It's a controlled substance.
Me: I know that it is a controlled substance
Nurse: she'll just have to go without it for a week. 
Me: ...
Nurse: there are no adverse side effects
Internally screaming, "then why is it prescribed, hmmm??? Do you tell the diabetic there are no adverse side effects to not having their meds for a week??? If there are no adverse side effects, why is it a controlled substance, hmmm????
Me: thank you for your time. Click.
