That's interesting Al, about the phone numbers.
In Maine, or atleast in Bangor, I'm pretty certain our pharmacists dont care. I call from my cell phone pretty frequently or other random phone numbers. In 9 years, (including residency)I've never been called back by a pharmacist to confirm the number that I was calling from.

In fact, in the past 3 years we had two confirmed cases of people calling pharmacies illegally for narcotics. The pharmacists only questioned the call-ins because they did not recognize the voice of the callers (who used the name of our M.A.'s). The pharmacies called out office to confirm and we identified the issue.
