[QUOTE="cowmilker, post: 902908, member: 17270"] Had an experience yesterday that made me recall this thread. We had a cat come to the clinic with an eye problem requiring drops that we don't normally carry. We can get drugs/supplies overnight, but the doc didn't want to wait to start treatment for 24 hrs. No problem- we called a prescription in to the local pharmacy ( a large, national chain). I go to pick it up myself- $98.48 for a 5ml bottle. I about shiite. I come back to my desk and call up the drug on one of our suppliers web sites and find that I can get it for $3.09. What kind of markup is that? I printed out the price, went back to the pharmacist, showed him the price, and said "I know you're not responsible for this, but you can't be serious. He sold it to me for $13.50. That's still 400% profit. Just venting. I thought about calling the local news- to me, that $98.48 is just criminal. [/QUOTE]
