Another day, another dollar…

Posted by The *Angriest* Pharmacist as Stupid People, True Story, Work Sucks

Same old, same old today. I’m sure many of you return home each evening thinking the exact same thing…You type, you count, you label, you verify, you counsel, you ring, you repeat, then you go home and drink yourself silly in preparation of doing it all again. Occasionally, something fun happens that you remember and share. Here are a few of those things from me today:

- I scanned a prescription that should have rang $5 and change. It rang $250 bucks. I researched the rx number on the bag and my computer told me it didn’t exist. What the hell?

- I found a bunch of lisinopril in a levothyroxine bottle. Both of mine are mylan…I can see where a complete retard would get the two confused.

- I filled an rx for #30 with 3 refills as #60 with 1 refill as the cash price of the latter was the same as the insurance price of the former. I spent over 10 minutes trying to explain the concept to an obvious schizophrenic (using words and drawings). I finally had my fill and changed it back to #30 with 3 refills to appease him and save myself from a nervous breakdown.

- I filled birth control for a girl that was too young to get it (imho) and her relative (mother? grandmother?) that was too old to get it. A little of me died inside.

- I did a transfer with a Walmart and was alerted by their chief pharmacist that as of tomorrow, they will have a birth control that is $9/pack. I looked at my cost for the same thing…$28/pack. Thanks, Walmart! You are going to single-handedly rob me of my bonus this year as my employer sees it as good business practice to price match with the largest company on the planet. I hope they plan on reducing the price of Valtrex. I see the need for it rising dramatically over the coming weeks to months.

- I ate some leftover spaghetti for lunch. I wanted to kick my own ass for wearing a white shirt. I blame my mother for giving me the coordination of child with Tourette’s syndrome and/or never teaching me how to eat spaghetti correctly…
