  the pharmacist here treated myself, a cancer patient like a drug addict when I tried to fill a liquid pain killer prescription after my partial glossectomy (surgery to remove tongue). It was extreamly insulting and irresponsible to find the pharmacist took it upon herself to change my liquid pain meds to tablets that DISSOLVE ON YOUR TONGUE (I just had parts of my tongue surgically removed due to cancer) because she thought I was a drug seeker! I'm still not sure exactly how she did this because I've gotten about 2 separate stories from New City Walgreens: 1. "The Nyack Walgreens called it in as a tablet". (This can't be because another pharmacy can't call in this type of medication, only a doctor can) 2. "Your doctor changed it for you, I as the pharmacist can't just change it". (The doctor, who wasn't even my doctor, it was the doctor on call in the recovery Ward said she told him they were out of the liquid and when I spoke to my doc she said she would never prescribe a tablet that dissolves on your tongue after parts of your tongue were removed) Normally I go to Nyack Walgreens for any medications but they were out of the liquid and suggested New City Walgreens because they had it in stock. This was very upsetting to be treated like a drug addict and be denied pain meds the day after surgery. This type of surgery is quite painful and since I wasn't able to speak due to parts of my tongue missing & swollen I had to get a friend speak for me and since it was 6:00pm most of the people I needed to speak to had left for the day. This pharmacists unwarranted treatment was disgusting and quite an abuse of her power. I will NEVER give them my business again and I will be sure to inform anyone I encounter the disgusting treatment I received from them. You should be ashamed of yourself!
