    The prescription was not called Into the pharmacy. I have been unable to get ahold of far west medical staff to resolve the problem. I called the clinic at the end of the day and was put on hold indefinitely. When I tried to re-call I was directed to an after hours answering service. I have sent a message In my chart and just spent 10+ minutes waiting for someone to pick up. This should not be that difficult.
