some Christmas cheer

if you put vitamin D and docusate sodium in a jar and shine light through it, you will have a very beautiful Christmas centerpiece.

Doesn't generic zofran remind everyone of Santa Claus? On Dasher, ondansetron, on Prancer and Vixen!

umm... no...

A girl came in to pick up her rifampin, septra, and levaquin the day before halloween. She asked if she could drink alcohol with them. "Umm... no..." I said. "Fine, I'll come pick them up next week" and she left.

umm... yes...

A patient called and asked a tech if he should get the swine flu vaccine. She asked me what I thought. The guy is on truvada and 2 protease inhibitors... um... yes... yes he should.

hydro...chloro...thiazide!

I started screaming at the TV while watching the new X-Men movie because the villain explained that they gave Logan's wife "hydro...chloro...thiazide" to induce a near death state and to make her heart slow down to imperceptable levels. "No no no! I screamed. If anything it would make her heart beat faster!" It made me so mad.

press 8

So, Pharmacy Jane was calling to get information on a patient, and the message machine for the doc said, and I quote "Thank you for calling the office of Dr. X... for spanish, press 8..." Would they catch that by the time it got to 8... in english?

Per request of Pharmacy Jane

Most embarrassing story ever:

Someone came to the counter asking where the hearing aid batteries were, I pointed him in the right direction, and a few minutes later, a very similar looking gentleman came to the counter, before looking down at his OTC purchase, I asked him, "did you find those batteries ok?" Everyone started laughing and he said "I guess you could call them that." I looked down and he had a box of condoms.

We had a gentleman come in for a flu shot. He was tall and gaunt, with dark brown hair and magnificent chin-strap beard. I was most disappointed to see that his name was neither Abraham, nor Lincoln.

Later, after the patient had left, I leaned over to the Pharmacist who had administered the shot. "Four score and seven years ago..." She started laughing and told me that wasn't even the best part.

"So he rolled up his sleeve and he had this tattoo. I told him it was so nice that he gave me a target and he told me 'don't stab it in the Lincoln Memorial!'."

It's nice to emulate someone and all, but there is such a thing as going too far...
