Starting sh*t since 1967  |
My back is out, can't even stand up straight. Dr calls in a scrip for happy pills. Go to pick up the pills last night. "We never got a call". Call doc this morning, "Hell yes we called!" Come to find out pharmacist spelled my name wrong, had it all along
  . Thanks, dumbass! Maybe I could have got some sleep last night or moved without crying out in pain.------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Yeah but if the guy at Wendy's fucks up my order I just have to deal with getting a new burger. If my doctor, pilot, pharmacist, etc screw up we got bigger problems. ________________________________________________________________________ "The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."

So, you're mad at the pharmacist for not knowing how to spell your name?
Was your first reaction to get mad and yell at them? Did you stay calm and ask more about the situation? Busy Pharmacy's get sometimes 100's of calls a day with outrageous names. Sometimes we can't spell them and if it's a busy pharmacy, we may not be able to figure it out b/c we are not familiar with them. OTOH, the pharmacy had the script there, all you both had to do was talk about it, and they should have looked for it, we have a stack of scripts for people that aren't in our system waiting on the person to come in to give us the rest of the information. But, the script was there, another 5 minutes of calm discussion probably would have solved the problem. Sorry you had a negative experience. Shoot low boys! They're riding shetland ponies! |

I go there all the time. I never yelled or got angry. It never does any good and makes everyone feel bad. The Dr's office was madder than I was. They checked for 5 minutes and could not find it. I thought I could complain here. Don't be so defensive. My back hurts like an SOB and venting gave me small comfort.------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

A guy goes into a pharmacy with a priapism and walks back to the prescription area.
Him: I'd like to speak with a pharmacist, please. Her: I'm a pharmacist, how can I help you? Him: Do ya'll have a male pharmacist? Her: No. My sister and I own this store. We're just as qualified as any male. Him: I'm sure, but this is kind of a guy thing. Her: Just tell me about it, sir. Him: (Stepping back from the counter). It's been like this for 48hrs. What can you give me for it? Her: Let me consult with my sister for a minute. . .(she returns) Would you consider $15,000 and a 1/3 interest in the store?

I'm not being defensive, but just like with anything, you have to look at from their point of view as well. I know it's frustrating, and believe me it's frustrating for the pharmacy staff too. Been there, done that, and for me it's disappointing enough to not be able to satisfy the patient, it makes it doubly worse when the patient doesn't or won't understand. The pharmacy made a mistake, one that is easily fixed so hopefully this won't ruin ya'lls relationship Shoot low boys! They're riding shetland ponies! |

Not bashing the pharmacy staff here at all, in my business we have plenty of balls that get dropped, too. BUT... somehow I'm thinking that the pharmacy staff wasn't quite as frustrated by a night of incessant pain as kz was. Just saying, there are degrees of suffering that all parties go through when an honest mistake is made. IMHO, kz got the big dose on this one.

I'm not saying kz didn't suffer more, obviously he did. and obviously when you're hurting, it's hard to keep a cool head but, if the pharmacy staff is anything like the ones I have worked with, it could have been resolved then and there with either a call to the doctor's or a closer look for the script Shoot low boys!

I hear ya man. My last name is 5 letters long and common. My first name is also most peoples last name. Because of back pain, I live on Valium ans Vicoden so imagine my frustration when a subsitute pharmacist doesn't want to give me the script cause she wrote my first name as the last name on the phoned in script.
