Upper Management and Respect for Pharmacists

Demotivational Hump Day... Fishy Prescriptions

Never Assume Gender

While I was on vacation a floater working in my place changed the gender on a patient named Jamie, costing me 20 minutes today when I had to call insurance to figure out why it was rejecting. 

"Missing/Invalid DOB" was the reject. If it had just said "Invalid Gender" then I could have solved it quickly. 

I don't know why the floater decided to change it. Obviously we had been processing prescriptions for this patient for quite awhile.

This is clearly a case in favor of...

Those Were the Days

The other day I'm waiting in line here in Snootyville. I'm patient and waiting my turn. In front of me is a tall black dude in his mid twenties. He's dressed like he should be in a Hollywood night club, not boring old Snootyville.

He's patiently waiting his turn too so I figure he must not be from Snootyville. People don't like waiting in Snootyville, or at least not at the Goofmart Pharmacy.

So then the dude's cell phone rings. Out of all the possible stereotype ringtones you'd think would be on this cell phone, this is what I heard:

After a couple more calls with different people I realized it wasn't a specific ringtone for a specific caller. It was the same ringtone for all of them. He must be a big fan of Herbert Hoover, Archie Bunker, the LaSalle, and Glen Miller. 

As for me, I'm never going with any stereotypes ever again.

The Joy of a Vacation

I don't like waiting in airports. I never have. You want to relax but you have to be on alert for when they call you to board otherwise they will leave you behind.

This guy didn't like waiting either. But he treated us to a spectacular scene of exercise doing push ups and squat thrusts as we waited to board. People tried to ignore Mr. wanna be Jack LaLanne as he did his routine, but I couldn't help myself. I just stared in disbelief.

I don't know his final destination but wherever he is I'm sure he's doing some push ups right now.

Lunch at the Pharmacy...

...doesn't usually last this long...
