The *Angriest* Pharmacist You want your prescription filled when? Eat shit…

Finally – Now they *may* listen

USA Today has posted an article titled, "Speed, high volume can trigger mistakes."

Check it out: http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/health/2008-02-11-prescription-errors_N.htm

Then, some fucking idiot with 2 years experience in the trenches rebutted. I hope he gets stuck at a store that fills 1000 a day rather than his 80/day haven.

Finally, we have an experience [retired] pharmacist tell it like it is:

Hopefully, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, RiteAid, and the other big players will pay attention rather than merely rebutt with the bullshit "our pharmacists are expected to make professional judgement prescriptions and are not required to meet any quotas."

Yet, they refuse to offer additional staff or hours. If I'm expected to fill 250 in a 12-hour day BY MYSELF...how can I do anything but fill as fast as possible (and potentially make mistakes)? You think I can stand there, take an Rx from someone and tell them "it's going to be 3-4 hours before it's ready. Give me a fucking break. Once they call my DM or my HQ, you can bet they'll be in my store the next day listing reasons of why I'm wrong, how I can work faster, how I don't need additional staff, and an ultimatum: Fill faster or we're going to make your life a living hell.

And what can I do but fill faster? The patients aren't going to give a shit about my time constraints or professional judgement. They want 15 minutes are less. Hell, a pizza takes 30...but you want me to deliever controlled poisons faster...eat shit.
