Scary Times

Well,... I know that I have not written in a while. To be quite honest, things have been fairly mundane in the pharmacy. Very busy, but nothing too interesting - which is unusual. There is ALWAYS something interesting or funny to talk about,... but not lately. I should have realized that it was the... Sign in to see full entry.

Work Hazard that you NEVER think about!

Something happened today that I have truly NEVER even thought possible. As I have mentioned in the past, I work in a VERY busy pharmacy. During the day today, my technicians, as always, were working feverishly to fill fill fill. All of a sudden, one of my technicians is standing behind me asking for... Sign in to see full entry.

New Extreme Phonics?

Sometimes it is truly funny to sit back and really think about what people are saying when they are speaking with you in the pharmacy. I had a little old man on the phone this afternoon. He was in need of a refill, and HE knew exactly what he wanted,... the trouble was getting that point across to... Sign in to see full entry.

Question of the Day

WOW!! As a pharmacist, I get a LOT of questions each day. In fact, that is usually my very favorite part of the job - to answer people's questions. Most questions are fairly simple (Can I still take Tylenol with this antibiotic?), some are more complex (I have had a bad reaction to Lipitor,... what... Sign in to see full entry.

Pretty Good Day

Well, overall today was a pretty good day! Very Busy, but I DID get to eat... sounds crazy, but that is something to be excited about! The funniest thing that happened today though simply must be shared. I was consulting a mother who was picking up a liquid antibiotic for her young son. I was... Sign in to see full entry.

Curious - Did You See?

It has been a while since I have written, I know I know. This is sort of upon request from my husband - I have been under a Great Deal of stress at work lately, and he has requested that when I come home, there is NO PHARMACY!!! No talking about work, no writing about work, no THINKING about work. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Are You Serious???

Oh.....My.... Gosh!!!! I have come to a realization with regards to my pharmacy.... I honestly think that the actual building itself must have been built on some secret Indian Burial Grounds - - - you know,... like in the movie Poltergeist? Now, ever since I started at this pharmacy back in 2005 I... Sign in to see full entry.

My Very First Handshake!!!

Today was pretty much your average day in the pharmacy. Very busy, short staffed, some crabby people, some very happy ones.... the extraordinary thing today, for me anyways, was something that most people really don't even think about. I have been a practicing pharmacist since 2004, and I... Sign in to see full entry.

WOW!!!

Sometimes I wonder what in the world people are thinking, and where they learn to behave in the way that they do, you know??? In the pharmacy where I work, we do over 500 prescriptions daily - it is quite busy. In the mornings, there is only one pharmacist from 8 until 11am. Well, this morning one...
