Frazzled Farmacy

I had to stop at Local Pharmacy tonight to pick up a Sarcasma prescription for Frank (yes, now my kid is on it, too).


Pharmacy guy: "What's the name?"

Dr. Grumpy: "My son, Frank Grumpy."

Pharmacy guy: "Hang on... Here we are. Okay, has your kid ever taken Flagyl before?"

Dr. Grumpy: "No, but it's not Flagyl, it's Sarcasma."

Pharmacy guy: "No, it's Flagyl, I have it here, and it looks like there's another script for birth control pills. Has she ever been on those, either?"

Dr. Grumpy: "You've got the wrong script."

Pharmacy guy: "Well, it has her name on it."

Dr. Grumpy: "HE! The name is Frank Grumpy!"

Pharmacy: "Wait a sec... Oh, sorry. These are for Fran Grumpay, just sounded alike."


For those of you who didn't see the prescription drug that keeps me under control the last time I put it up...

  1. That's why they're supposed to use two patient identifiers! :)
    At least he asked you if the patient had taken it before.

  3. And this is exactly why I always ask the patient's date of birth.

  8. We had a family in town that had the same kid, the same age, with the same name.

    I had to switch pharmacies.

  10. Picking up a prescription:

    Me: Last name's George
    Pharmacy Tech: Do you spell that with a G or a J?
    Me: Uh, G?
    PT: A lot of people spell it with a J. That's why I asked.

  15. Dr. Grumpy:

    Thank goodness I didn't have my beer in my mouth while reading the Sarcasma ad....I was totally ROFL.

    I will have to take this to work now...oh, irony of ironies...perhaps it should go in the med room.
