Pharmacy Brownie

Licensed pharmacist with a lot of opinions and thoughts. I survived pharmacy school and now out here licking, sticking, pouring it up and all that other goodness for the general public. My blog posts ONLY reflect my thoughts and beliefs as an individual and do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of the pharmacy field

Conversation with Another Pharm-Friend

Me: Did I tell you that I got reported at work for selling a customer a bag of Doritos with not enough cheese on the chips

Friend: I'm sorry...what?! In the premade bag?!?!

Me: lol yes. This customer not only had all of her prescriptions transferred somewhere else, she went to Corporate about these damn Doritos

Friend: haha shame on you!!

35 years ago today, all we knew about the virus that we now know to be HIV/AIDS was that there was "something" that was leading to a high number of cases of Kaposi's sarcoma among gay men

So glad that there has been extensive research in the last 35 years....and that we no longer see HIV/AIDS as "the Gay Men Disease"

Patient: I'm calling to check on my Lunesta prescription

Me: Your insurance is requiring a Prior Authorization for the medication

Patient: Ok...that's fine. Just give me a few pills of the Lunesta

Me: I can sell you a few pills

Patient: No! I want them free!

Me: I can't do that. Your medication is a controlled substance and I can't give you any unless you pay the cash price

Patient: Fine! Then transfer my Lunesta prescription to another pharmacy!!

Me: Not a problem Ma'am. Your medication will be a controlled substance at their pharmacy as well....

“Can I be a pharmacy tech if I sold a lil weed and shit in my past? I mean, the po-pos ain’t never catch me though”-Customer

um....NO

[pharmacybrownie]

hihi! first of all i love your blog so much it's amazing ♡ i'm a freshie at a 6 year pharm school and from reading your posts i feel like there are A LOT of angry patients & i just wanted to ask u how u deal w them cuz i'm gonna need it LOL thank you

Thanks for the blog love!! :-) Customers aren’t really angry per se....they just have ridiculous demands at times. Some actually do become angry but in my experience, they are in the small minority of what you’ll deal with at work. 

Good Luck in pharmacy school :-)

Those customers that press the button in the drive-thru multiple times

I heard you pull through the drive-thru AND heard you press the button the first time....
