Today, I had not one but two people bring in seven (7!!) scripts. One of them even had the audacity to be angry when I told her it would be 45 minutes before they were all done. (The other just said she would come back later). I pointed out to her that it takes about 10 minutes to type them in, plus 5 minutes to prepare each bottle, and she backed off a little bit.
The first lady is older, and kind of confused. Her daughter usually comes to pick up her meds, but I think she’s in need of some medicine herself, if you catch my drift. We didn’t have one of them, and she got mad because her daughter was going out of town and wouldn’t be able to drive her. I offered to mail it to her (if she paid for it, of course), but she didn’t want it to get lost in the mail, so she decided to ask someone else to drive her tomorrow.
The other lady (the one that got annoyed) had evidently just gotten out of the hospital, but most of her meds were just refills of things she was already on, just with the addition of an antibiotic (cephalexin, if you’re wondering.)
Other than that, though, today went pretty smoothly, plus it was a short day for me. I was finally able to order some Zyrtec (tablets only). I ordered ten bottles, since we already have five scripts waiting in our order bin for it and allergy season is just beginning.
At least I can start reducing my supply of cold medicines and kids’ antibiotics.
