Welcome to AZ. Today a pharmacist denied the MTX refill for my adolescent patient. She's on 5 mg/wk to prevent AHCA Ab production. MTX denied purely because she's a female, barely a teenager. Livid! No discussion, just a denial. Now to fight for what's best for this pt.

@JJWatt I'm so sad your protected health information was leaked. That's incredibly disappointing and evidence of horrible lack of character. The physician in me (as well as a huge JJ fan) is sending you extra positive thoughts for a boring sinus rhythm the rest of your life!!

@julie_hovgaard Methotrexate is the medication. It's used to treat many different rheumatic conditions. It is also used for the treatment of ectopic pregnancy so is considered an abortifacient medication (drug causing abortion)

@ambarkeluskar @ElizabethGannon In this case, the dose is so low it would take months to "collect" enough for that purpose yet not having MTX will allow underlying condition to flare. And to not communicate with the prescriber?
