    Could you call them on the phone to check on the prescription to see if it was a mistake? that way you wouldn't need to go in (although I realize phone calls can be super stressful too). Even looking up a way to report that pharmacist's actions as bigoted (anonymously or otherwise) could be helpful, although I understand it's definitely not easy.

    I would say to also talk to your doctor about it and how it made you feel, they might be able to either report that location/employee, recommend you a new pharmacy, or figure something else out to get you the care you need. At the end of the day, it's about fulfilling your medical needs, and anyone who gets in the way of that is standing in the way of your health. If you focus on framing it this way to your care provider they may be more sympathetic (which they absolutely need to be) and advocate for you!

    That's definitely a scary situation and I'm not sure what I would do in your shoes, but I know that you are going to find a way to make it work! :cat-trans:

    we're all pulling for you here :trans-heart:
