Pissy. Must. Die.

Me, Dr. Pissy, and our combined office staffs are having lunch with a drug rep.

 

Ms. Pharma: “That covers all the new info about Nomoshakin, so next time either of you sees a patient with refractory seizures, please keep Nomoshakin in mind. Any questions?” 

Dr. Grumpy: “No, thank you.” 

Ms: Rep: “Okay. Looks like we still have a few minutes, so let me tell you about Gramzap. This is our new, highly potent, highly absorbed, once-daily oral antibiotic. It has excellent coverage against many commonly encountered infections and…” 

Dr. Pissy: “Do you have samples?” 

Ms. Pharma: “Of course! Let me…” 

Dr. Pissy: “Please leave them for Dr. Grumpy. Gramzap sounds better than the weekly shots he gets at the free clinic."

  6. I hadn't been working very long at my first 'real' job as a hospital pharmacist when one of the older nurses asked me for leftover expired tetracycline tablets (! This is actually one of the drugs that becomes toxic after its expiration date.) Her hobby was growing irises and she thought she'd be able to nab a few free iris antibiotics from the newbie. Unless Pissy was there, those 'shots' may be Dr G's secret to prize-winning roses.

  7. Come on and own up....you're just upset that Pissy got that one in before you did.

  8. Gramzap sounds like an all-round all-purpose antibiotic. Does it come in bubblegum flavor? (Laying bets on how long it takes for emergence of resistance.)
