What does a pharmacist do?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Typical day for a retail pharmacist:

36 Unhappy customers
43 Rejected claims
6 Pharm Tech mistakes
3 Printer jams
29 Refill-too-soons
54 Insurance claim issues
214 Minutes on the telephone

Also, if planning a career in pharmacy, memorize these sayings:

"This medication is non-forumulary."
"I don't know why the won't pay for it."
"Yes I am sure that this is what your doctor wrote for."
"I have no idea why your co-pay is $15.00."
"I can't refill this until next Tuesday."
"Most insurance companies won't reimburse for pills accidentaly dropped in the toilet."
"40mg? No, Doctor, they don't make a 40mg tablet. 50mg? Sure, ok."
"Hi, this is XYZ pharmacy. I need to talk to Dr. Tremor because I can't read what he wrote."
"Shoe laces? Isle 3."


hahahaha...this is hilarious but true for retail...I actually had one patient come in and tell me that she hid her medication in the oven and one day forgot to take it out before she turned the oven on....hahahaha...I had to call her insurance and get a lost medication override :laugh:

You really shouldn't have called for a lost med override on her own stupidity, unless the pills were anti-dementia pills.
 
"Doesn't afraid of anything" is a Meme... here is its origination:
