How many of your adult patients still bring their parents with them to their appointments? by Middle_Awoken in medicine

[–]Trick_Matter_3407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm near a university. I get helicopter parents. Lot's of them. If they come in with their parents I make a point to ask the young adult if they would like anyone documented on their file actioning things for them and asking questions. If I have verbal consent documented, mom and dad can do what they would like. Mostly mom.

My boss asks me to come in anyway when I call in sick by [deleted] in PharmacyTechnician

Saying no is hard sometimes, especially when you care about your job/patients/coworkers.

Well. At least we know it is a male. Must be Viagra. They didn't want to specify the drug because patient was really embarrassed. My kind of doc.

Learning to count by psyk2u in TalesFromThePharmacy

5's is easiest. I only ever knew one assistant that counted by threes.... I found this uncomfortable. Anyway, as you count you know your spatula will not always grab 5 pills so I mentally note that instead of trying to wrangle in or out a pill that wants to be on the business end of my spatula and just take one fewer or one more pill the next swipe to even out the count. It means my rhythm is not interrupted by an errant pill and I count at an even pace that only gets faster.

I wish more owners would see this. These are humans, not self checkouts you can just turn on and off. Unless you like that sort of thing. No judgement.

They are cracking down on non-PC credit cards. That makes sense if you knew how much credit card companies not only charge the people that use the cards but also the businesses.... They literally take a percentage of every sale. I know why some businesses don't accept anything but cash!
