Yes, talk to your doctor about it! Then, if he is upset about how it was handled, you should rest, somewhat, at ease...
That being said...
First off, you should NEVER wait until the day you take the last pill in case something like this happens. You never know when something might happen. I think what the doc meant was to call FIRST when he was almost out and then come in when he took the last one to pick up the 'scrip.
If you have a decent rapport with your Dr and you have transportation issues he may be willing to write you out a new one early if need be and just have it dated for when you need it so you can have it filled later... but I can't guarantee that they will do that.
If you are thinking about finding a new doctor, talk to your pharmacist... they pretty much know who is good and who is not. For the most part, they have heard all of the stories from patients AND they interact with their offices on a routine basis. If your pharmacist is not willing to discuss this with you, you also need a different pharamcy along with a different doctor!
