Meet Christy Munson
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
As a professional dealing with a drug addiction, this persona can help demonstrate use cases related to monitoring prescriptions, as well as pharmacy/doctor communications and relationships.
Christy Munson did not set out to have a prescription problem. But she’s now had one for years and still rarely admits it to herself. Christy is a paralegal in Detroit. She had never been one for exercise and her health began to deteriorate due to her sedentary life style. She spent her work hours sitting at a desk, and then went home and sat in front of the television or computer. So it wasn’t too surprising that she began to experience back pains. The addiction began gradually. Her doctor prescribed a small dosage of Vicodin for her initial pain, but soon that wasn’t enough. It’s now been four years, and Christy has changed doctors many times. Whenever a doctor begins to question her need for the drug, Christy starts looking for a new doctor. The idea of not having the drug to help her through her day is just too overwhelming for her to consider. Christy does not see her reliance on Vicodin as a problem. She is still able to do her job (and tells herself she does it better with the “help”). Her pharmacist and insurance company have yet to complain about the issue, so she doesn’t have any reason to doubt her relationship with the opioid.
