There are certain things that you must never do in a pharmacy. Many revolve around the whole patient confidentiality/
HIPAA issue, but there are some others that you may not know or think about.
Things like mentioning how slow the day is going. That's a sure fire way to guarantee that the phone and fax are going to get fired up and pummel you for the next six hours.
Never mention how well the software/hardware is working. That's a sure fire way to either have the computer crash or the printer jam to the point that it's
FUBAR.
Pharmacy God knows never to mention the previous items because they have come back to bite him several times.
But back in the late spring he forgot one of the other key things not to say. Pharmacy God made a comment to one of his techs about how bad it must suck for one of our patients who was having a kidney stone pass.
Two days later Pharmacy God spent the better part of a morning in the local ER getting diagnosed with his own stones.
It passed easily the next day and all has been well ever since. After months of waiting, Pharmacy God finally saw a urologist. Several tests later, Pharmacy God has been told that he has several large stones sitting in his left kidney, including one that is four-times larger than the one he passed back in May.
Not what he wanted to hear.
So tomorrow Pharmacy God goes in for an
IVP. No big deal. It's early in the morning. Shouldn't ruin his one day off this week.
Except that Pharmacy God on the clear fluid diet until tomorrow...... he's working today...... and he's starved.
It's nothing to be hungry at the pharmacy. Happens every day. Except tonight he can't eat when he gets home.
Pharmacy God gets to use a
Fleet Prep Kit.
Which brings up another pharmacy never...... never laugh at people who are picking up
Nulytely,
OsmoPrep, or any other product to clear the bowels. It'll come back to bite you in the ass, literally.
