Where There’s A Pill, There’s A Way
PHARMACY | RIGHT | MAY 21, 2009
(A customer comes in with a prescription for a narcotic pain reliever. He says that he was at the hospital with his wife and the hospital stole his pills, which is why he needs to get this prescription filled, even though his last prescription was just filled a few days ago.)
Me: “OK, sir, I talked to your doctor and he says I can fill your prescription.”
Customer: “Great, can I wait? I have no pills left and I really need it.”
Me: “It’ll be about 10 minutes.”
(10 minutes later.)
Me: “OK sir, your prescription is ready.”
Customer: “Hey, are those pills the same as this?” *holds up pill*
Me: “I thought you didn’t have any pills left, sir.”
Customer: “Well…I bought this off the street, to be honest with you.”
Me: “Oh…good.”
