So obviously more than one of you have noticed that I’ve been quite silent lately.  Lawsuit?  Work trouble? Life trouble? Unemployment?  Nevah! Nobody can silence The Angry Pharmacist! I’m working on a secret surprise for this site.  One that I’m almost completed with.  Its been a few months in the works, but I guarantee it’ll [...]

I don’t mind if a patient calls up and has a question (except if its when their vicodin is due).  I will gladly put whatever I’m doing on hold to answer a legitimate honest question, no matter how trivial or stupid it is.  I’m sure any pharmacist (except those mail order twats) would do the [...]

Every retail pharmacist in every pharmacy around the world have dealt with this issue. Patient comes in to the pharmacy and wants a refill.  He has 0 refills left on his medication.  You tell him that you need to request refills from the doctor. He gives you a blank stare with the response “but I’m [...]

As part of my “Dedication to Pharmacy”, I am going to create some patient handouts that you can give to your patients to explain things that you don’t want/have to.  Whether you give these out is by your own professional judgment, HOWEVER I will not be responsible/feel bad if your patient takes his/her business elsewhere. [...]

I’m sure this post is full of grammar and spelling mistakes. To all the people who like to point them out, go fuck yourself.  I’m a pharmacist, not some soft-science English major douchebag.  If you are the type who likes perfect English and grammar, then go to a squishy website that reeks of deep literary [...]

Once in a while I get a rather bitter comment from a “Pharmacist” who just got his shiny new degree and license and thinks he knows it all.  Now I was going to let you (the readers) be ‘The Angry Pharmacist’ for the day and give this guy a new ass-chewing, but I figured that [...]

I hate the holidays.  I’m serious!  Christmas time is the most horrible time for retail pharmacists.  Why? The blatant lies, excuses, and just whining to get pain pills early. Now normally dealing with people who need their stocking stuffed with CIII’s is pretty soul killing, but add on a good dose of holiday cheer and [...]

I hate this time of the year.  No, not because everything is all xmas’d out a whole month before Christmas.  No, not because The Angriest Pharmacist went and became a “ooh clinical pharmacist”. Its because this is the time of the year that everyone either wants 2 months worth for going to Mexico, or an [...]

Before I go into a tirade about the population with a chronic Vicodin deficiency, I’ll do some preemptive damage control here. If you are taking narcotics to treat chronic pain so you can live a normal life, that’s fine.  OBVIOUSLY this doesn’t apply to you.  Read, and share in the anger towards the people who [...]

I know I haven’t been posting lately compared to my DrugMonkey and Angriest counterparts.  Don’t feel like getting into politics here and I dont like to rehash stuff (too much).  Had to reprime the angry-reserves. People always sing to me the ‘I’m on a fixed income” blues when they are paying their Medicare Part-D $3.10 [...]
