I have a bad feeling about this

Dr. Grumpy: "What medications are you on?"

Mr. Scattered: "I don't know. Whatever my girlfriend puts in my pill cup."

Dr. Grumpy (to girlfriend): "What pills does he get?"

Ms. Girlfriend: "I don't know the names. Whatever his mother tells me to give him."

Dr. Grumpy: "Where can I reach your mom?"

Mr. Scattered: "She's in jail."

    "Can I call her at the jail?"

    "No, it burned down."

    Sounds a lot like my Dad and his wife, though I think she also adds a lot of supplements, like vitamin "K2". **sigh**

    Frightening that they are that dependant on his jailbird mother. I don't take any medication unless i have researched it and asked my dr and/or my pharmacist about the medication. Wonder what mom is in jail for...dealing pain meds would be my guess. Sad

    Well, when I was a young teen I tried to do the Mrs. J. route. Research, etc. My Mom the Head Nurse didn't like that.

    "I looked at the label, what do you want? A sign from above?"

    Now older and wiser, I DO do the Mrs. J. research route. And I have caught some interesting errors. I don't know if it was the pharmacy or the MD or both, but I would truck back to the pharmacy, ask to speak to the RPh on duty and explain why I thought the pills in the bottle didn't match waht the MD wanted me to take.

    I one case it was because the pharmacy switched suppliers and the pills were a different shape/color. In two cases, the RPh got VERY quiet. And called the doc and gave me new pills, no charge after calling the MD.

    I am NOT blaming anyone. If you are on your feet and most neurons are functioning, you should at least make a fast look at a reference book.

    Just sayin'
