Hey all,

Would you please fax Dr. Smith's office for a refill on Mary's RX#6671234. She's out and it's a total EMERGENCY. I will hold you personally responsible for her teeth falling out of her mough, and/or failing to come in at all, if this is not resolved ASAP. That means Richard or Natalie is going to actually have to getup off their butt and do something today (or stay late) - sorry for any inconvenience while I have tied them up for hours faxing this request.

Please not that she prefers the Flura Drops TM over the Qualitest ghetto drops.

Thanks and good day,

- D

P.s. - any questions you may contact my attorney specilizing in fluoride litigation at 888-TURN-U-IN. 🙂

A more responsible parent would have taken care of this months ago. You leave us no choice than calling CPS on you.

This brings up a question. What is the most ridiculous request you've had lately?

My patients wanted to give me some sort of 'hawk. (put stuff in my hair to spike it a certain way to make it look like a mohawk) It came up in a crazy tangent from a psychotherapy group.

Of course...we have halloween coming up, and all of the staff dress up, and i'm pretty sure they'll all be 'voting' on what we should wear. I'm sure the hair thing will come up again.....lol. ``

That I was asked to post my ridiculous request in this ridculous thread

I had one lady ask me to throw her meds into the garbage so she could dig through and retrieve them for free. Psych patient.

I guess this isn't a request, but I recently had a lady come in who was getting her Risperdal 3 and Seroquel 400 bid filled. We had just gotten new shipments of Burt's Bees and Pediped infant shoes. I had just made a nice neat display. She tore my display apart, and started putting shoes in with Docusate and Burt's Bees in with my eye drops. I about had to take the lady's Seroquel, because I thought that I was going to go crazy on her.

You live in Oklahoma. You should be on high dose Seroquel and Risperdal.

Had someone come to the PHARMACY RX drive through and tell me to get them a 12" round white NOT yellow cake with chocolate frosting and a gallon of milk. Of course I ddin't do it. I told her that this was the pharmacy. We don't keep those items behind the counter. She looked all confused and drove off. @%@#%%^@%

I'm sure WVU would have found the time. Sheesh!

When I worked at Wags for 2 weeks people kept wanting their photos at the drive thru.

On my last rotation (grocery store) I had a woman call and ask me to find a "very large black man with a football jersey and a baseball cap" that was supposedly shopping for orange juice and ask him to pick her up a bowl of vegetable soup from Lizard's Thicket. WTF? 😕 I went looking for him just because I wanted to see his face when I went up to him with that request. Never did find him though....

This redefines..."hey hon, I'm running to the grocery store..."

U-huh...sure you are.

We've had people call and leave messages to forward to their husbands when they come to pick up the prescription.

Today one of the techs turned to me and said, "When Mrs. X's husband comes by to pick up her hydrocodone, you need to tell him to pick up another packet of fajita seasonings."

I thought it was fairly harmless, so when he came by, I told him that his wife had called and asked us to tell him the new request. He gave us a blank stare and asked where the fajita mix was. We pointed him towards the ethnic food aisle.

He came back a few minutes later and asked if he could pay for all of his purchases at the pharmacy. I said "within reason." He didn't have a lot, so I said it was OK. He asked if he could pay for his movie late fees at the pharmacy, and I told him that he was out of luck. It was then that the 6-month old that he was carrying around (no carrier/stroller, etc) decided to spit up all over my counter. I handed him some paper towels and he halfway cleaned the paper and the counter off. I then rung up his items, but he had to hand me the baby while he wrote a check (I cleaned up the baby while he wasn't looking).

The best part was that instead of fajita seasonings he brought a flank steak to the counter. When I jokingly mentioned that this wasn't taco mix, he said, "I know, but I don't WANT fajitas (as he was ringing up tortilla shells). Thanks for looking out for me."

Very odd transaction overall.

Today I called a doctor's office for a refill request we had faxed twice with no response. The patient said she always dealt with Edgar, and could I call the office and ask to speak with him. I called, but the girl who answered the phone said Edgar was out to lunch and would not be back for an hour. So I write Attn: Edgar on the request I've already faxed twice and fax it over again so maybe Edgar will see it when he gets back from lunch.

Two minutes later, the phone rings and the tech answers it. Tech finishes his conversation and tells me that the girl I just spoke with would like me to write Attn:Edgar on the fax I just sent over and fax it again.

1. If she knows it is for Edgar, why can't she write that herself?
2. What was wrong with the way I wrote it the first time?

Stupid, ridiculous request.

About a year ago some guy asked me if we make repairs to eyeglasses lenses. He said he thought it was what pharmacies did.

 

[dlinks]

my wife once asked me to watch the store for only 30 minutes 'coz she had to do something in the back...

then a guy comes to me and asks for a medicine that i can't even spell... to avoid looking like a ******, i simply said "oh, we're fresh out of that, try the next pharmacy"...

and after he left, i did feel like a ******...

Gotta wonder if the pt & Edgar have a "thing" going????? Wonder if the prescriber knows?????
