I was timing out Wednesday night, glance up, and guess who I meet face-to-face? Robert Porcher, a former NFL defensive end and childhood hero! I shook his hand and got an autograph on my drug description handbook... :p

It felt pretty surreal. :)

The only famous person that I've met at my pharmacy is a former Phoenix television 'celebrity' from the 70's and 80's. (No, not the one in my avatar.)

i believe knowing they were picking up a prescription is a HIPPA violation as well.....

isn't that why there is no more intercoming about rxs....

CVS here said... please return to the pharmacy to pick up your package.....
lol

To clarify, Porcher was NOT picking up a prescription. He was shopping in the retail portion of our store.

Good point on HIPPA though -- ignore this post y'all... :D

I filled a Paxil script for Tom Cruise once. Oh, wait...no, it was Lithium. No, no...okay, so I just dumped some Lasix in his coffee. Sue me. :eek:


HaHa... After all "Tom Cruise's" extensive research on those drugs...

Tom Cruise is a jackass haha
 
Talked to Andre Wadsworth (fomer Defensive End as well) about his knee rehab and his try at a comeback. He needed an OTC for his child.
 
I'm a tech in Orlando and Mel Martinez (Florida senator) has filled a couple things there. He's from Orlando BTW. And his Mom is a regular... she's so cute and you can't understand a word she says! HA
BTW, his federal RX coverage isn't as great as you might think. He actually has to meet a deductible like the rest of us! :D
 
We had a doctor call in a prescription for someone pretty famous (and very rich$$$) in my city. The pharmacist had no idea who it was until I started filling the Rx. I was like is it THE person who I think it is? The pharmacist was then like "ohhh, so that's why the doctor was like 'there's only one' of this patient" when she asked him to verify the date of birth and name.

I had to leave before the patient arrived to pick up the medicine, but the pharmacist, after I told her who the patient was and why they were famous/important, noticed that it was strange that this person didn't have bodyguards or anything and seemed very normal. Strange because this pharmacy we were at is in downtown and near a lot of not so reputable people that hang out, and this person could have been easily mugged considering how recognizable they are.
