All pharmacies have patients like this.

The village idiot. 

Always really late or really early. 
Cant manage to take 3 medications (all once a day, at the same time) correctly. 
You think you are doing him a favor by putting all of his medications in weekly planners or blister pack, only to have a plastic baggie [...]

Alright.  I tried to lighten things up a bit by posting a funny entry that I did over a year ago but never made public.  Unfortunately I got the YEAR wrong when I set the date upon which to publish it.  Its visible, just back with entries dated around the end of 1/2007.  Go team [...]

Now I don’t mind explaining to people how their medication works, how to take it, and what it does.  Its part of the job, and to be honest /most/ pharmacists really enjoy doing things like that (if they arent swamped to all hell).  We go to school to learn stuff to share with the general [...]

One of the problems with writing entries that piss off a big portion of the online community is that you draw a ton of people to your site.  That little diabetic stint along with pissing off most of the chain pharmacists pushed my web hosting bill through the roof.  Yeah, I’m a pharmacist.  Yeah, I [...]

After letting that little diabetic rant stew for a few days (Oh, the uppity folk who pitched a bitch-fest came from here. Notice how almost ALL of them are on insulin and proudly display their insulin pumps and a1c score.  Now notice how the people I was bitching about probably think an insulin pump is [...]

Ah look, the diabetics come out of the woodwork. WATCH OUT, I HAVE CANDY AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO USE IT! I would like to point out that below I refer to diabetes as a ‘condition’ and not a ‘disease’. See, those PC/sensitivity classes are paying off.
On the other hand, [...]

Why must people be obsessed with testing their blood sugar?  Its about 3 times a week where I run into the typical uncompliant patient who needs a refill on 100 test strips they picked up 2 weeks earlier.  A quick scan of their profile shows only oral meds, no insulin, and uncompliance.  So then the [...]

I hate cherry-picking pharmacies.  If you are new to this term, this is what it means.
Cherry-picking is the act of filling a bunch of easy Rx’s for a patient, then giving the Rx back (with the filled Rx’s crossed out) to the patient telling him/her to go to another pharmacies to get the other (harder) [...]

Why is it that 9 out of 10 Rx’s with a huge glaring mistake are written by NP/PA/CNM/Janitors who somehow got prescriptive authority before the people who actually went to school to learn about drugs?
Maybe its just where I’m at the PA/NP cribs are painted with lead paint, but its to the point now where [...]

So, it has come to my attention (a few days ago) that Airborne must pay 25 million due to a lawsuit claiming that it didn’t work.
Some highlights include:

Airborne not proven to work
The “clinical study” was preformed by a couple of random dillholes and probably was just made up
If you purchased airborne, you can get a [...]
