[QUOTE="Nature, post: 740317, member: 19011"] Good point Copa. Yes, they will have to figure this out. This clinic is open until 5 but the doctors leave a few hours earlier. My son and his friend hadn't realized this as previously they visited the clinic doctor at 9:30 am every Thursday. They hadn't expected to get hired so soon after the job fair. When they did receive their schedules they thought it wouldn't be a problem getting to the clinic by 5 but then discovered the doctors leave early. They visited the day before to see if they was anything they could do and were told by staff that the doctor may allow a 2 wk prescription but the doctor said no but then changed her mind again and did allow it but only when they showed up there. There was a panic they would leave their new boss in a bind the first week of work and hoped the doctor would give them an extension on the prescription which they often do for clients that visit weekly if they manage to find a job. Hope that clarifies a bit of my previous muddled post. My son is going to call around to see if there are clinics that are open earlier or later but that would be a shame as they've made a connection with the addictions councelor and staff. If that is impossible than he will have to discuss possibly leaving early on Thursdays - not the best case scenario but his recovery is the most important thing. Sometimes if a client has been attending a clinic weekly the doctor has the discretion to ask them to check in monthly after a period of time. This will be their 3 month attending weekly so hoping that he can convince her of the importance of his job. Here's hoping it will all turn out. [/QUOTE]
