Full Moon
Ever notice that when it is a Full Moon, all the freaks & weirdos come out to play, or customers ask really dumb questions? Just like clockwork, I was always scheduled to work with the same pharmacist that week, and we would dread it. One weekend, we had a guy come in wearing sunglasses. Not unusual, except that it was overcast outside. Anyhow, he went on to ask the pharmacist if he had any medicinal mar*juana in the pharmacy. Of course, we did not and had no idea where he could even get some. So the dude finally takes off his sunglasses, and his pupils are smaller than a pinhole. Being the helpful people that we were, we directed him to the chip aisle located conveniently (for us) beside the pharmacy to help with his, uh fix. ( Cue to the sound of wolves howling as it gets dark outside)

A recent full moon visitor to our McDruggies: 70+ y/o with no teeth who'd never been in before. Needed a mail order override on Cormax. Didn't want to pay $9 copay. THEN announced SHE NEEDED BRAND. Which we didn't have, and it was a Friday night. Meanwhile, I call her insurance to see why they told her it'd be free. You know you're f-ed when the chick at the insurance co REMEMBERS TALKING TO HER. So I have her at consultation crying about her itchy scalp, the ins chick laughing hysterically on the phone, me biting my lip so hard it bleeds, and my boss taking one look at the whole thing and walking away. We never saw itchy scalp again, but she's our full moon mascot.
Last full moon, we had the gentleman with the very...explicit, detailed, and repetitive...questions regarding his Cialis, the man who was convinced people were chasing him coming through the drive-through, and the person calling to scream. Just scream, no words. I'm almost afraid what the next full moon will bring, I never thought that this would be more exciting than the psych ward.
it is 2 days before the full moon that are the worst, imho. even the real crazies wont come in ON the full moon. and this from an rph who worked in a store next to the state mental hospital
I absolutely love this blog, it gets me through many slow nights at work, haha.
I am a CPhT now working in a psychiatric hospital, and I have definitely noticed the "Full Moon" phenomenon. We always seem to get the most aggressive, most psychotic patients around that time.
