Life at the Pharmacy
Above is the Holy Bible for the every day Pharmacist....
As many of you know, I am doing my workterm this summer in a Pharmacy. This was to be a 4 week non-paid experience for credit towards my degree program. They friendly folks at Sobey's have decided to hire me on for 8 weeks (PAID!) after my SPE is complete. So I am one happy pharmacy student.
So, what is life like in a pharmacy? What do those serious-looking, constantly counting, lab-coat wearing professionals really do behind that counter? Why do they always look so focused and concentrated on what they are doing?
Because! It's so easy to make an "F"ing mistake that could cost you your LIFE! Yeah, that's right!
We don't just COUNT pills ok. We make sure directions are right, dosing is correct, the doctor didn't take crack the day of your visit and prescribe something that could kill you, or that you are crazy allergic to...we deal with your billing and insurance crap, spend hours on the phone talking to stuck-up egomaniac doctors so YOU don't have to, and insurance companies who don't want to dish out, even when they know they HAVE TO!!
So the next time you visit your local pharmacy....tell your pharmacist THANK YOU for all the hard work they do. Because even though you can't see everything that goes on behind that counter, believe me. It's a LOT more than the average person would bargain for!
OH YEAH!! AND CALL FOR REFILLS YOU LAZY SHOPPERS!!!! Just freakin call!!!! Don't huff when you gotta wait 15 minutes so we can do all of the above!!! Just think...it could be saving your stupid, useless, good-for-nothing life.
Oh, did I mention that I LOVE working at the Pharmacy? THEHEHHEHEH!
No seriously, it's cool.
And remember...pills are good.
