Susan Hanson, CRNP

I tested sick with Covid and immediately called the doctor office to get a prescription for Paxlovid. I was told by the nurse station that to just "suck it up for 5 days and told that Paxlovid is not prescribed at the office because it is not FDA approved." Finally a week and a half later and very sick I called to see my doctor. I could only be squeezed in to see Susan. I mentioned to Susan that I was upset that Paxlovid had not been prescribed when I was newly infected and that I realized it was now too late for it. When I mentioned that I was over 65 and that the public announcements said I should get it, she told me that the pharmaceutical company paid for that and they just want to make money. When I said I didn't understand, she told me that she wasn't going to argue with me. Even though I still tested positive and coughing a lot, she told me I was not contagious. I was not offered any prescriptions or advice. Months later I found out that Paxlovid was available by the doctor.
