This email is from Mc Fury! How cute is that name!!
I wish you were my personal pharmacists!
Good Morning Fast Food Pharmacists!
I have been a tech (CPhT) for 3 years now in Florida Keys and now Virginia. My current store has some of the craziest customers I have ever encountered in retail pharmacy. For example, Wednesday an elderly man comes to the pick up counter with a Santa hat on, I ask him if he needs assistance only to have him open his cigarette pack and dump a "found" baggie of marijuana on the counter. He walks away like nothing was odd about this encounter. It is in our lost and found, you know, just in case.
Mc Furry. (kind of like Mc Flurry, but with more anger)

Recruiting FFP bloggers
Send us an email as to why you want to be a writer for our blog. You must pick a name that is synonymous with fast food restaurants. Also, for Christ' sake, be a pharmacist or a tech. I don't want druggies posting their rants on here. That is what hate mail is for.
Love,
Filet

OMG hilarious!!
I like my NP at Kaiser. She is very smart and kind but when pressured for answers about some items, she drew a blank. I guess it happens to the best of us. :)

Little job satisfaction
Sorry I've been absent. Big N'Tasty and the new bloggers do an excellent job at keeping you all amused and informed. I am completely disenchanted with my job at the moment. Why do you ask? Oh let me start with how pharmacists are rarely respected in the retail field. Physicians (not Dr. Grumpy obviously), nurses, PA's, NP's, midwives, housewives, stay at home dads, blah are just real assholes lately. Sorry you have a freaking chip on your shoulder but why are you taking it out on me? I have enough shit to deal with when it comes to insurance issues, technician attitude depending on the day and front of the store managers coming back with pissy attitudes about random crap. We hardly ever hear a "thanks" when we call MD's office to correct errors, which in some case are life saving. All the customers bitch about is copays. I am NOT your insurance agent! Figure it out! So sick of Medicaid patients as well. STFU! You are getting a $600 med for $1 lousy freaking dollar! Go put the twinkies back and buy your med!! OK off to a black and tan...
I can't wait for my next vacation. Sigh..

Love At First Sight
Bayer, I was lovestruck with this new glucometer. Small, easy to use, and for the tech savvy diabetic a dream come true.
Yes kids, this glucometer is also a USB drive that stores all of your testing data and comes with software that charts your data so you get a visual representation of your glucose control. You can also print out the readings and charts to take with you for doctor office visits.
I don't know about you but I prefer to see a picture rather than just a bunch of numbers on a page. For many, visual references give an easier interpretation of data points. It is like giving a patient that "Aha!" moment so they better understand what is going on inside their body.
It would make a great gift...hint hint...
Enjoy the Valentine's season and remember if you have to have chocolate go for the sugar free!

Zoom Zoom!
This year I decided to do small things to make my appearance better. The first item on the list was a new hair color that my hairdresser friend will hate. I am sure he will chastise me then dye it a different color when I move closer and am able to see him more than once a year.
The next item on the list was to work out on a regular basis instead of sporadically. I have been recording shows off Fit TV at random so I have a different 20-30 minute workout each time. One show that recorded was Shimmy. For the unanointed, Shimmy is a belly dance workout that starts out all innocent then gets a little weird. It morphs into a 1980's music video minus the Whitesnake. Picture girls in belly dance outfits in industrial backdrops like a utilitarian hallway with flashing overhead lights, a coal-burning plant at night so you can see the flames, or a street with fires burning in barrels with the girls shimmying around them while the voice over tells you which body part should be shimmying.
The first time I chanced upon Shimmy I laughed to the brink of urinary sphincter failure. You can't write that sh*t but workout comedy happens. It's like watching the train wreck that is 80's jazzercise complete with bodysuits, tights, and leg warmers or Sweatin' to the Oldies with Richard Simmons and a bunch of crazy fat people in busted clothing.
The next thing I did was Zoom! tooth bleaching. I am impatient with Crest Whitestrips and the many other OTC variations. I didn't want to wait several weeks for great results, I wanted results now.
The Zoom! process is not as glamorous as it seems on TV. The first step is to put a big plastic lip spreader in so there is no skin blocking your teeth. Then next step is to put a protective sealant on the gums so the bleach does not fry them like bacon. Then gauze is packed in the cheeks to protect them from bleach. After everything was put in place I felt like the cenobite from Hellraiser with the lips peeled back that chattered his teeth. All I needed was a skull cap and a leather dress then I would be "Ready for my close up, Mr. De Mill!"
The bleach was applied and I was hooked up to the special light with protective eye wear and my iPod buzzing. The bleaching itself is done in 15 minute stretches with a wipe off and reapplication of bleach between each stretch. The process is tedious, all of my bleached teeth hurt by the end, and I had a 3 hour road trip afterwards to visit friends at the beach on Florida's west coast. Good times!
I had a sensitivity gel to apply with custom trays from a tooth impression we did when I had the consult. I now have an exact replica of my teeth. It makes me feel like the Tooth Fairy in Red Dragon only I don't plan on using them as dentures. Maybe I will display them in a jar of white pebbles so that it looks like an elderly person's floating dentures. An interior decorator's dream!
The results of Zoom! are phenomenal. I was amazed at the degree of whiteness achieved from an hour of torture. As long as I take care of my teeth and do a touch up with my trays every once in a while my teeth will stay freakishly glow-in-the-blacklight celebrity white. Mission accomplished!
