Lice Make Them Millions!

So last week my 6 year old daughter came home from school with head lice. I of course panicked at first, then rushed to Walgreens for some "Rid". Washed her hair and cleaned the bedding and sprayed everything in the house down. The next day she still had living lice on her head. I tried treating her with the "Rid" again but it didnt work. So Friday afternoon we went to her Doctor. The Doctor prescribed me this lotion called "Ovide".

So, I dropped the prescription off at Walgreens and the next day I got a call from them that they didn't have it in stock. They transferred it to another store and they said I would hear from them by sunday. So Sunday Afternoon I get a call from the other Walgreens that my daughter's insurance denied the coverage. They said I needed to call her Doctor and have the Doctor call Medicaid and then they could fill the prescription. I had to keep her home from School on Monday, I called Walgreens on Monday and they said they still couldn't fill the prescription.

So I'm getting pissed by now, I dont want to keep her out of school any longer then I need to. So The Doctor calls Medicaid again, and they tell me it will be 48 hours before they will hear from Medicaid. Now I'm standing at the counter at Walgreens almost in tears. I figured I could just take the loss and pay for the prescription with cash, I ask the lady how much it will be and she says "$225". "Are you fucking kidding me!?!". So I leave and then finally I get a call today "Tuesday" that her prescription will be ready later. I go, pick it up and as we are sitting on the couch applying the stinky, oily substance to her hair I am reading the incredients......1 ingredient..."PINE NEEDLE OIL".

This company is passing off pine needle oil as a medication and charging $225 for like 2.5oz?
