"Last year was a rough one. I had a debilitating form of neuropathic pain that got so intense I wasn’t able to work, and I lost my job — and my health insurance. So, I couldn't afford to seek treatment with the top specialists and went to a less expensive general practitioner. That doctor prescribed painkillers that only masked the symptoms.
"When I told my Health Mart pharmacist, Marc, about my situation, he thought about similar customers who were being treated with different regimens by the top specialists. Marc suggested a treatment that I could review with my general practitioner. The GP thought it was a good suggestion and prescribed it for me. The medication was expensive, so Marc found an affordable generic version that saved me a lot of money. I’m now on the road to recovery, and Marc is on my list of heroes."
