Wellstar's current prescription renewal policy sucks. You've added an aggravating additional step. It's causing me to run out of medications.

The doctor wanted me to have labs drawn. We were trying to check my insulin levels to see if I needed to be back on my metformin, but I couldn't have my labs done because the shots that were needed, y'all were out of in the lab. So they told me they couldn't do my shots. So I don't know when to come back.
