She was a stylish lady d’un certain age, and she caught my wandering eye. After prolonged consultation with the computer, the “pharmacist” informed her (and the rest of us within earshot) that her insurer had approved her Ortho but denied her Valtrex. I was thinking of asking her for cocktails at the Plaza, when I noticed the other women in line tittering. It seems that Ortho is a birth-control pill, and Valtrex is a herpes medication.

I suspect Walgreens or CVS could steal market share by offering something close to privacy... but they won't bother...

Thank you for the ping and post. I sure hope he’s exaggerating, but I fear that he is not.
