#pharmacy tech problems

You know

in school they never tell you about the inordinate amount of time you're gonna spend pissing in a cup.

Job interview? Norco went missing? Lab lost your first "donation" so you have to down several cups of water and do it again? Stab yourself with a fucking 16G needle while making a bicarb drip? Pop a squat bitch.

Fun fact about me -

Calculating medicine doses makes me wanna cry and if I didn’t get someone to double check my calculations I would probably kill someone

What Makes a Good Tech Go Bad?

I was one of these techs. I am reflecting a year and a half later. A year and a half of being distanced from the pharmacy. I left because I knew I had to. I left for my sake. For the sake of my patients. For the sake of my coworkers. I left not just because I graduated with a 4-year degree in something unrelated and more profitable. I left for personal reasons that affected by professional judgement. 

I left because I had become a bad tech. I loved my job. I loved most of my patients and the people I worked with. However, I dropped my moral compass and it shattered.

When your store fills 1400+ prescriptions a day and corporate cuts your store hours so now your promise time is always late by at least 5 hours. Good times.

Friendly reminder to not be assholes to your local pharmacy staff because 10 out 10 times it's either your insurance or doctor is shit

When It’s Pay Day and Tax Return Day and Half the Techs Call Off...

[nyyyynyyyy]

Yesterday I️ learned that people can truly be ungrateful. So our computer systems went down yesterday and this one lady called a bit frantic because her husband was having an asthma attack and she was just wondering if there was anything that he could take over the counter to help until the systems were back up she didn’t gripe or complain she completely understood and just wanted to try anything that would help. A few moments later a lady in her 20s walks in wanting to refill her birth control and gets seriously upset because I️ don’t have a way to do that. Birth control? Really? I️ have a man who can’t breathe, a baby who couldn’t get their antibiotics and you’re irately upset that you can’t get your birth control tonight.
