How to get medicine and medical care on the road. It is not easy. Our current system makes obtaining medications very difficult. For one thing, it is illegal to have someone obtain your prescriptions for you and send them to you in the mail. That means you have to go to your pharmacy every 30 days. Some people may not know, but you have to see your doctor every six months, or better said, he has to see you, in order for him to prescribe for you. If you are on the six-month cusp, you can sometimes get the doctor to refill a prescription beyond the six month period if you set an appointment with him.
In my case, I have gone off of some of my medications that require closer scrutiny by the doctor. I am not willing to limit my travels in order to meet a 30 day medical appointment test. This is very difficult for me and it means I have untreated conditions. It is outrageous in a country like the USA when people cannot get the medications they need because of overly-restrictive laws.
I am thinking about using only eastern medication and getting off of the Western medcation system completely because I am so dissatisfied with it. Our medical system is too expensive and too structured for my likes.
