I went up and talked to an elderly woman who had left the pharmacy counter pretty upset a few minutes earlier. Her name was Penny, she was 75, and she told me a story about how the pharmacy had been cutting her medication but still charging her the full copay. Obviously she was upset, so I gave her a prescription drug discount card I carry around and encouraged her to check other places. She eventually came to tears and admitted that she really needed help. I reassured her that the card may be able to do that and that there still are people out there ready and willing to help her. Bottomline, Penny seemed lonely and desperate for help and she became very emotional when someone half her age showed her a little compassion, caring, and possible solution to her problem. We need to start taking better care of our elderly. I gave her a hug and hopefully a great Valentine's Day gift.
