I’ve ranted about this. JP has ranted about this in Drug Topics. However some big-chain pharmacists *ahemWalMartahem* don’t seem to get the idea across.
You see, I really hate to bug pharmacists for copies/transfers.  Usually I’ll call their confusing little voicemail system, hit the proper combination of buttons to get to the “Voice Mailbox for [...]

Unlike some angry websites out there, I will never make you send money to a politician campaign fund for articles (who will just be bribed by your employer to sit there and do nothing like most politicians.  More Kool-Aid anyone?)  No briber..er..contributions needed here, we only serve raw recycled rants with some filler thrown in [...]

Has anyone but myself noticed how pharmacy has turned into a profession of nothing but fighting?

Fighting patients: Early refills, lost medications, the lies, the bullshit, “Do you have any other insurance cards?”, “What do the pills look like again?”, “There is no way you should be out of those yet!”, “Who told you to [...]

Going along with my previous (and popular) socialized medicine post, I have a solution from the pharmacy aspect that I thought of while reading some responses to it.
You see, we shouldn’t have the folks like Walgreens, Rite-Aid (if they are still around), CVS, and the hundreds of independents profiting off of the pain and suffering [...]

Here I will give my thoughts and viewpoint on the current push to give people socialized medicine in the US.  Feel free to chime in on what you think.
As all of you are quite aware, there is a push in this country to give every man-woman-child government sponsored health-care.  Here I will tell you why [...]

Every pharmacist has had to deal with Workman’s Compensation prescriptions at some point in their careers.  They usually involve paper billing (although now Express Scripts, RESTAT and others have made them electronic) and a lot of begging/paperwork to get paid.
Pharmacists see this all the time, but its a little known fact that work-comp has become [...]

A pharmacy without crackheads would be like a Big-Mac without the secret sauce.  The two go hand-in-hand like fat-chicks and spandex.
Have you ever sit to think about the hard work and dedication to be a tried and true crackhead?  The kind of crackhead that makes pharmacists everywhere sigh and cringe as they hear their name [...]

ePrescribing is the stupidest thing to come to pharmacy to date.  It serves no point, it causes MORE errors, plus it costs pharmacies upward of $0.30/rx to receive each prescription.
Lets take a realistic look at this.  Next time you are at work, tally up how many refill requests you send to doctors a day.  Now [...]

Summer is upon us, and with it comes such delightful things.
The weather is warming up, and that means… BO SEASON! YAY!
For those new here, when the weather warms up, people start to stink.  Its not the subtle smells like cat-piss and just unwashed nasty that’s present during the winter months (because you don’t need to [...]

This one is going to be a doozy, so please read the entire post before writing me a 10 page comment about your life story and how much of an asshole I am.  If you still wish to write me a 10 page comment on how society forced you to get knocked up while on [...]
