Blood what???
A funny story from placement concerns a blood pressure machine. This particular blood pressure machine is free for customers to use in the store to measure their blood pressure (duh). The machine is located directly in front of the dispensary and is fully visible from all aspects of the dispensary. On a particularly hot and busy day in the pharmacy with 3 other pharmacists present doing stocktake, a couple of girls walk in. One girl drops off a script which i collect. While this happened her friend stands in front of the blood pressure machine. The girl who had the script says something about hair dyes and walks down the aisle towards the hair products leaving her friend in front of the machine behind. Not wanting to be left behind she calls out "Wait up. I am just taking my blood temperature!". The moment we all heard this we all paused for a moment. After the girl had rushed towards her friend, oblivious to her mistake. One pharmacist repeats that phrase while shaking his head. Although this seemed rude that we all had a giggle at that poor girls mistake. Just to clarify the situation. We were all tired from being swamped with scripts during the day and were all a little tense at that moment. That mistake made us relax a bit. So thank you anonymous girl for lifting my spirits a bit when I was dead tired.
