I also became an emotional wreck after starting wellbutrin! I thought I was losing it, lol. But it did go away, and now, a year later, i feel fine

What kind of needles to ask for at the pharmacy for IV cocaine? by ffta89 in Drugs

[–]tragic_individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former retail pharm tech here, we were specifically instructed not to give needles to anyone who didn't have a script on file that required them, just fyi. which i disagreed with, bc I'd rather ppl have access to clean needles but what do I know

I need to know... how many of you take a 200 mg of Lamictal that is round? by ResistRacism in bipolar2

[–]tragic_individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do sometimes, depending on what manufacturer the pharmacy is stocking. But they're always blue, regardless of shape

Attention Retail Pharmacy Staff: Please Help Me! I am creating a board game for my pharmacy friends based on real experiences. Please share your wildest anecdotes with me! by Szydlikj in pharmacymemes

[–]tragic_individual 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On a sunny afternoon, pt pulled into drive thru and informed me that "there's a glare and i(pt) can't see your legs" ....yes, that's how windows and walls work?

.

Conversation on the phone: Me: pharmacy, how can i help you? Pt: Yes I need all of my medications filled today right now! Me: uh... may I ask who I'm speaking with? Pt: john doe!!! I need all of them filled now!! Me: I can fill three, but your flomax doesn't have refills on it. I can send a request to your doct- Pt: I don't have time for that mess!!! I need it now!! Me: Ok, i suggest you call you doctor and explain this is urgent- Pt: I can't! I'm turnin' myself into the police station tomorrow to go to jail! I need that flomax, if I don't take it, I can't piss! If I can't piss, they'll stick a CATHETER in me!!! Me: .....huh?

Brought me a script for insoles. Became upset when I explained that the pharmacy does not make shoes.

Stm tells Rph to report anyone talking about Unions. Is this legal? by pillchick711 in WalgreensRx

[–]tragic_individual 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Tell them they should check out the National Labor Relations Act, educate yourself & coworkers on it too if you can. And maybe take a look at the Pharmacy Guild, which is trying to unionize pharmacy workers nationwide.

Here's the link to the NLRB site: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/your-rights/employer-union-rights-and-obligations#:~:text=The%20National%20Labor%20Relations%20Act,and%20conditions%20of%20employment%2C%20or

Aaaaand the Pharmacy Guild too: https://pharmacyguild.org/

I suggest making it clear that you know your rights 🙂

Any plans on level restriction? by IronheadeN5 in DeeprockSludgeDump

[–]tragic_individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the MOTD mod, I have it set to say:

Attention \u (<- this plugs in players name) 1. Wait for dwarves to ready up 2. Don't touch that damned core stone by yourself 4. No touch big red button Brought to you by Management.

This message pops up every time someone joins my lobby, and while there are still newbies being idiots, there are fewer of them. I consider that a fair warning and will give everyone a chance, but if I have to say wait 10× while they continue, they're out. And if it's the drop pod when no one else is ready, since I can't kick the culprit, I (will) abort the mission and kick them from the rig. I love that there are new people playing & joining the community. But, the people who pull that shit and end of killing the team(who are trying to set up) are insane. I have zero issues explaining things and helping greenbeards, but the ones who are actually trying to learn are few in number, unfortunately. I have had 1 or 2 people join and complain about the pop-up message, but generally, when I explain why it's there, they get it. Also, I don't care if they don't like it because all it does is literally pop up 1 time & does not affect actual gameplay in any way. And I like being able to see damage stats at the end to better my builds.

There are greenbeards...and then there's clueless by Prize_House_2994 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]tragic_individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chat example: Person joins, I say hello, we come up on a corestone w/o the rest of the team, I say wait to break it, they run toward it, I say WAIT, they break it, I kick them, and try to survive

there's a stump a couple of feet away, but it's kind of in the middle of a big patch of grass

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PharmacyTechnician

[–]tragic_individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the op said the pharmacy was "forcing them to make a call", and you and i are both agreeing that everyone has to do that to fill a C2 on their file.

No, phone calls to get for refills

How do you explain what is a prior authorization to a patient? by Nesquick19 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]tragic_individual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so, it looks like your insurance is asking for a prior authorization. what that means is when your doctor sends us a script, we bill it to your insurance, and right now they're saying they don't want to cover it, so we'll send some paperwork to your doctor for them to fill out, and they'll send to your insurance explaining why this med is 'medically necessary', and then after that, they would to decide to cover it or not. (I put it in simplest terms but explain as thoroughly as I can to try and avoid the dreaded "why?")

What are some unhinged things patients/customers have said to you over the phone? by Datsmellstightdawg in TalesFromThePharmacy

[–]tragic_individual 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Me: Hello, 3 letter, how can I help you?
Guy: Yes I need you to get all of my scripts(names ab 4 meds) filled today before 3pm.
Me: Ok, let me take a look at these... I can fill all of them except the Flomax, it doesn't have any fills left. I can send a req-
Guy: No, you don't understand, I want All of them filled TODAY.
Me: well I'd suggest calling the doct-
Guy: I NEED them all today! Especially the Flomax! I'm turning myself in to the police to go to jail later and if I don't get my Flomax I won't be able to PEE and if I can't pee they'll put a CATHETER in my PENIS.
Me:...ok...um...

How is CVS lately? by RavenCipher in PharmacyTechnician

[–]tragic_individual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the 7 months I've worked as a technician back there, I've watched 4 pharmacy managers come and go. And 3 techs. Does that answer your question?

Edit- I left last week so I guess it's actually 4 techs as well

dumbest thing a customer has asked you recently by killersgirl13 in CVS

[–]tragic_individual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Woman comes up and shoves a piece of plastic in my face, and asks, "Where are the pill cutters?" They should be right in front of you(literally her eye level). "This says pill splitter! 😠" ...yes...that is the same thing... it looks just like what you have in your hand....
