I hate to say this openly but I know of doctors in town that really don’t care, if you ask for it you will get a rx written. I personally do not go to those as we don’t have many rx needs.
What I have done is either get meds and not use them all or skip some and save them. Also you can get antibiotics from the pet store. Is it perfect, no. Do they cover everything, no. I think it’s a ton better than nothing.
I have bought a lot of my med kit stuff from target. Bandages, wraps, tapes, cortisone, triple antibiotic, gold bond etc. But E5 there’s cheaper places and you can buy bulk…yes but I’m at target once a week and can throw in something here and there to top off supplies.
When I went through the emt course we had to provide certain items. I found the Medicine Shoppe to have quality supplies for more extensive needs.
Lastly, my wife’s a nurse and she works in the same office as the lady who orders supplies. Sometimes they have to throw supplies away and we get first dibs. Don’t hate.
