PAs take 24-48 hours and are valid for a year.
So it's really a minor inconvenience most of the time.
In a perfect world. But in reality, the point when a consumer typically realizes they need this, they are at the counter to get the RX they are out of. And if it's heading into a weekend or a vacation? Yikes.

In my experience, PAs end up being a big fight back and forth between the doctor, insurance, and pharmacy which tends to get bogged down if you aren’t going to pull a bunch of time out of your day to yell at everyone involved.
If I am being prescribed medicine to deal with stress, it kinda counters the intent of the medicine if I stroke out trying to get my fricking meds.

Oh, that happened to me a few times. Eventually I just started to put a reminder on my calendar that coincided with my last refill for a month to call my doctor and remind them to reup it.
It does suck when you're just starting a medication. I miss when docs could just go in their closet and pull out a few sample packs to get you going while you waited on your scrip to be approved.
