I appreciate how considerate Kesha is of my time. Her jovial attitude compliments her seriousness well. She also understands that supply chain issues happen from time to time and she has been helpful with reminding me to verify stock before she sends prescriptions. Only thing that would be more helpful is if there was some sort of a system in place to preemptively verify pharmaceutical stock for the patient when there are supply chain issues, something that avoids the patient having to be on hold for so long.
