Tell the wife to toughen up.
And yes, you do have a choice of getting your scrip filled at the hospital or taking it to your pharmacy. You just have to use your head.

The thing is that her ear was open pretty good, it wasn't just a little scrape, it was wide open. I wasn't about to leave unattended and have a big scar on her ear for the rest of her life.
I've been telling the wife to toughen up, it's never gonna happen, when stuff happens like that, she panics.
Things must be different in your ER, but around here, they NEVER give the option of if you'd want them to fill it or give a prescription, USUALLY they do give you a couple of pills, then a prescription, but in this case, the nurse brought in a mixed bottle, which she probably had to make a full bottle to give her that one dose, if I denied it, I probably would've still got charged for it anyways. Plus, in the rare case that some kind of infection was setting it, I'd rather have the anti-biotics working that night rather than waiting until 4pm the next day when she got home from school.
My kids come first in my life, I'm not gonna sit back and risk anything. I know that going to the ER was gonna be a few bucks, but that's just rape.
