I'll trade you your coding for my technical documentation.

Oh wait, I can't code.

I just want the bucket of jelly bellies!

You have to have something to trade him!

alphabassettgrrl · 07-27-2011, 08:56 PM

OOohh, Jelly Bellies! Need to pick me up some of those. Somebody asked me the other day (while I had on my Jelly Belly bike jersey) if I had any.... and I didn't... I was very sad.

I was at the Pharmacy today picking up prescriptions. Another man was also there and was upset, demanding to talk to the manager, arguing with the pharmacy manager, calling for the store manager, demanding names (first and last, tyvm) getting more and more irate. His friend go involved and they were both yelling. I, of course, was waiting for my refills and listening in. It seems his Doctor forgot to write the dosage instructions on the prescription and the pharmacy wouldn't fill it without them. It apparently was the same prescription he had had filled before, so he thought that was enough evidence for the pharmacy to go on for this prescription. The pharmacist explained that they could lose their license if they fill an incomplete prescription. The time was about 3:30.

What I got out of observing this whole deal is that people are more intent on "getting what they think they are supposed to have" and will go to any length to try and get it EXCEPT the obvious route to a solution which, in this case, would be to call the doctor's office and ask for a complete prescription to be faxed over.

When I left the store 15 minutes later, the man was still standing outside, this time on the phone to someone "higher up on the pharmacy food chain" still demanding he get his way.

The wasted time, energy, effort and general bad behavior just amazes me when a solution seems so obvious. It seems most people would rather stay in the problem than be a part of the solution. It's nuts!.

That is nuts! That sounds like someone who can't see the solution that is so obvious to us. It's easy to see solutions when you're not in the middle of things, but still. Yelling at the guy who can't help you does no good- look for the one who can.

Why didn't the pharmacist just call over to the doctor's office?

Been there with the incomplete Rx but it was 6 p.m. and the doctor's office was closed. Yeah, anger doesn't cut it in that situation. He needed to try seduction. Why didn't the guy bite his lower lip in dismay, all animation leaving his face, lonely, silent defeat taking its place? Lower your head, dude, take deep breaths - heave those pecs. Let a hot tear trickle down your cheek. Now, swallow hard, fix the pharmacist with a gaze, and let your deep and silent anguish pierce the distance between you and the pharmacist.

My .02.

I think Helen's description is much more eloquent

Capt Jack · 07-28-2011, 08:32 AM

maybe his 'scrip was for a chill pill. he very obviously needed a couple.

what Ive found in those cases is that if you talk to them, 99.9% of the time, since you have a history of having the med anyway, they'll give you a few to get through until they can contact the Dr for clarification, then fill it afterward, but you kinda have start off not being a general douchebag about it
