I like to complain and I like to laugh. I spend equal amounts of time at both pretty much all the time. I had an especially good hour long fit of the chuckles after filling a prescription for a patient with a rather unfortunate yet hilarious name. I can't tell you the whole name because of patient privacy laws but I will take a stretch at saying that parents with the last name Wiener or Weiner have certain social responsibilities in picking a name that does not lend to hilarity and long term psychological damage for their children.
A typical text convo between pharmacists:
Tasty: I am being used for my compounding skills....I feel dirty.
Filet: Lucky! I've forgotten so much and I love compounding
Tasty: Made two batches of progesterone supp & a flagyl susp...fun fun
Filet: Fun. What flavor of flagyl?
Tasty: Sweet gritty ass
Filet: Ha ha w a cherry on top
Tasty: My face hurts from fake smiling
Filet: Amen
This is what happens when I get suckered into driving an hour away to sub at another store for a 14 hour day. I told the techs there will be no staying after 10pm. If it is not done it will be sitting on the counter for the morning staff. I have no shame in leaving it behind. I have an hour drive home. Of course there was nothing left behind because it was a Sunday but I am subbing there again for the evening today and will have no shame leaving stuff behind.
We close at 10PM, not 10:05, not 10:30, but at 10PM so don't pull up in the drive-thru because you think I am going to stay an extra 20 minutes because you are just gonna get driving directions to the 24-hour store down the street.
Happy Holidays!
**supp = suppositories and susp = suspension

What's compounding? I have heard of compounding pharmacies before but wasn't sure exactly what that was. I had to get Domperidone when I was nursing to boost supply (yeah yeah, off label use) but I had to order it from Italy? Said it could only be found at compounding pharmacies? In either case it worked! (boy do I miss THOSE, um, assets!)
Could be:
Harry Weiner
I.C. Weiner
Max Weiner
Star Weiner
Jesus Weiner
Hugh Weiner
Magnus Weiner
Prince Weiner
...and the list just keeps going...
Ima Weiner? Princess Weiner? Stardust Weiner? Glow in the Dark Weiner?
You don't stay? I don't! Ever!!!! Are you kidding me? You people had 14 hours to get that rx to me or pick it up. WTF!
