I have one doctor who consistently prescribes Viagra for himself. And by the quantity he's going through at age 36 I think he's out to set a new record or something. I think he's a little embarrassed though because he's always wearing Unibomber sunglasses when he comes in. Sometimes I've seen him out in the store with a fluffy little dog-- apparently that's great trolling material. I'll let you know how that goes when I get my fluffy little dog.
But the one guy that really pisses me off is a fertility specialist. He shows up at the craziest times demanding antibiotics then quibbles with me about the price. The last time he was in I reminded him that he had the same antibiotic just recently. He said it was ok, so I filled it. Then after he paid he leans over the counter and says in a whisper, "It's for my wife..." What? Now you're lying to me? Oh my gosh! Get out of here!
When I worked for a chain I had a patient/doctor (surgeon) who would come in for his Viagra, b/p med, and Propecia. If we didn't use the stock bottles to fill them with the original seal intact he would bring them back. He would say things like "how do I know this medication wasn't tampered with" or some other crazy thing. The last day I worked at this chain I was not in the best of moods. So he came in and got his refills, I forgot about his neurosis and used our own bottles. Before I left for the day he came back and slammed the bottles on the counter demanding I speak to him. He started into his rant about tampering. I knew I would not have to deal with him again so I took the opportunity to return fire. I asked him what type of doctor he was, he responded "general surgeon". Upon hearing that I asked him what reassurance he gave his patients that he washed his hands before surgery and that the instrumants were sterile. This not only shut him up but I got a nice dear in the headlights look from him.
