Trilby, you're in my thoughts. X

Yeah, Tril, we're thinking of you. Give us a bell if you need an ear.

Tril had a run-in with an unsympathetic doctor/ pharmacist.
Didn't help her mood.

But she was angry rather than sad when we spoke, which is a change for the better I think.

thanks everyone. I am going to look at a doggie today (a min pin) and another one later on ---- a min pin in cincinnati. I am slowly mending but I wish I could turn back the clock. My sister is coming up to look at the one dog with me.

your concern is so sweet. thank you all for caring and for cherry spending all her hard earned money calling me. The doctor I'm never going back to and the store (kroger) I shall never speak of again (after being a customer for 12 years) I was crying at the pharmacy desk, the pharmacist called the police and when I got home the police where there, they cuffed me and took me to the hospital "for my own good" b/c the pharmacist thought I looked 'extremely distraught' =-oh, yeah----THREE cruisers pulled up to my house. I'm sure my neighbors now think I am a child murderer.

SO happy to hear from you babba.
Even if I need spelling and geography lessons regarding Cincinnati.

You're stronger than you think. FAR better than you think. And loved. Name-check yourself on this website. You might not feel special in your immediate environment. But what do they know? You're respected worldwide.

Good to hear from you, Trilby ... sorry to hear about the pharmacy and police. I hope your trip today is the start of better things.

Dude, that pharmacist was way out of line. Or maybe she just made a small call out of concern, and it was the cops who unnecessarily escalated the situation. One way or the other, someone is a massive douchebag. I'm glad to hear from you, Tril, and that you're slowly feeling better.

It's the Aurora backlash. Pretend you are in Japan where everyone is all up in everyone else's grill.

Good to hear from you. Serious WTF to three cruisers over someone in grief. Sheesh.

Min Pins are great, characterful wee dogs. Glad to hear how you're getting on.

I've been through similar shit Trilby and it's massively fucked up. I hope the massive douchebag responsible has a really bad day. Sadness is not a crime or a disease. For fucking fuck's sake.

I'd talk to a lawyer about a huge false arrest suit.

I don't think protective custody constitutes an arrest and the pharmacist is probably held harmless from civil suit by law; unless, the pharmacist's action can be proved to be malicious. The pharmacist erring on the side of caution also protects the store from liability; so, a complaint to Kroger will probably end up in the pharmacist's favor. Changing pharmacies, as you intend, is most likely your best option since Kroger (like many pharmacies) probably has a video camera record of you at the customer service counter which they and the police can reference. What you actually felt and how you presented may be two different things. Even people here were relieved when you started posting again after sharing your tribulation. Just sayin'.

Handcuffs constitute an arrest. And dragging you out of your house because some asshole says you looked distraught? Fuck that shit.:mad:

I think most police department SOPs require all backseat transports (anyone not an invited ride-along) to be handcuffed for both the officers' and detainee's safety whether they are under arrest or not. Her story above was "... when I got home the police where there, ..." and not that she was dragged out of her house. It takes two to tango.
