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...

That's why they're supposed to use two patient identifiers! :)
ReplyDeleteAt least he asked you if the patient had taken it before.
By the makers of Fukitol....
ReplyDeleteAnd this is exactly why I always ask the patient's date of birth.
ReplyDeleteI probably need it, but I love my sarcasm. I embrace my sarcasm..and i think my sarcasm loves me back! without it I would have nothing...
ReplyDeleteOohhh.. HIPPA violation.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, the ever popular combo of BCPs and Flagyl.
ReplyDeleteI write it often. ;)
Does Fran have BV/trich? Ya think?
ReplyDeleteWe had a family in town that had the same kid, the same age, with the same name.
ReplyDeleteI had to switch pharmacies.
I can not stand the side effects of taking "Sarcasma." being nice.
ReplyDeletePicking up a prescription:
ReplyDeleteMe: 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.
Been on Sarcasma for 2 years, doesn't work but looks neat on my Cheerios.
ReplyDeleteThis drug could have saved me my job! Where was it years ago?
ReplyDeletePlease don't be a sarcastic bitch when you come in my pharmacy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I was.
ReplyDeleteI think I fill a lot of Sacasma scripts for patients that happen to be postal workers! Weird huh!
ReplyDeleteDr. Grumpy:
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
Okay I *really* need some of that Sarcasma before I start clinicals.
