2. A 80 year old woman called the doctors office that my mom used to work at and asked if the made Acid Jelly ( an internal vaginal hormone gel) in any other flavor because the on she was prescribed "tasted bad". She was putting it on english muffins and eating it.
3. This old woman comes into the pharmacy and picks up some vaginal cream. Her daughter comes over to the pharmicist and asks her to explain to her mom where her vagina was. The pharmacist had to draw the woman a diagram.
4. The number of women in nursing homes that would get horrible yeast infections due to bacteria caused by "vegetable matter".
5. A woman once freaked out on me because OHP would no longer pay for her insulin and diabetic supplies. She tells me "well I guess I'm going to have to stop eating as much so I can pay for my medication". She had developed insulin dependent diabetes from her weight problems.
6. This other pharmacist I used to work with went out to counsel a woman on an internal vaginal cream and when he told her where to put it, she yells rather loudly "you mean I have to stick that in my crotch?!?!".
7. Matt's mom is a nurse and used to work in an ER. This kid got a Monoply piece stuck in his nose and when he told his dad his dad laughed and said "thats impossible, you can't get that stuck in there" the proceded to "show" his child that it was impossible and the man ended up getting a plastic hotel stuck in his nose. Him and his son both wound up in the ER.
8. Another time Matt's mom was working at El Tascadero mental institution and a man got a half of a cup saucer stuck in his ass.
9. I went on a delivery yesterday and the woman whose meds I was dropping off must have been a quarter toner. She takes her meds and turns around to write a check. The nightgown she war wearing was too short for her and all grimy and dirty, when she bent over her back was to me and there were a few steps up to her doorway. I was at eye level with her ass and everything else, and not only wasn't she the cleanest person in the world but she wasn't wearing any underwear.
10. This one woman thought that her doctor was prescribing her a nasal allergy inhaler, she was given pills instead.
She comes in and asked if we could crush them up for her because she had arthritis and was having trouble crushing them. Then she asked if there was something she could put in the powder that would make it not sting as much. She was snorting the powder up her nose.
11. This man always comes in to pick up his meds on the weekend and while he's signing our electronic pad he drools all over the counter. Then he rubs it around trying to clean it up with his hand and walks away. He's done this to me twice now.
12. The same man came in once and one of the other techs was helping hime. The tech helping him looks down and the man had shit all over his arm.
13. One time a woman gave her daughter an insulin shot right at the pharmacy counter. Didn't cap the needle or anything and just set it on the counter and walked off without it.
14. This little boy comes in with his mom. The mom has like 4 kids. They are all on Ritalin. This little boy is like 5. I say hi to him and he starts biting his nails. This kid is going to town on his hand. He looks up at me and says. "I bite my nails, it's my habit".
Or the old men making gross Viagra jokes...
1. One of the pharmacists I was working with was counsling a man on his new Viagra prescription. One of the side effects is you may see a blue tint in your vision. The man looks at me and winks and says "I'm hoping to see pink if you know what I mean."
2. "Make sure you don't get me the wrong strength of I may jump over the counter, then you would be in trouble, let me tell you."
2. "Give me 10 this time, we're going on vacation and it's gonna be a looong week."
Oh and don't ever put a family member in a nursing home...
1. One of the med aides from a home I do the Rx's for called me because we had a dosage change on a patient. We start talking about her prior dose and something doesn't seem right to me. The label says 40 mg tabs, take 1 and one half daily. To anyone with a brain this means that the patient is to get 60 mg a day. Well the med aide thought that this meant 1 and one half tabs equaled 40 mg and since the patient was suppose to be getting 60 mg and the way the medication comes is one daily dose packed in a little blister card this mathmatician was giving her 2 blisters at a time thinking he was giving her 80 mg which is 20 mg over what he though she was supposed to be getting anyway, but was accually 120mg, twice as much as she was prescribed. This was heart medication.
2. This other home I go make deliveries to ever so often always has this woman with no pants on hangin out of her wheel chair onto the front door while screaming "get me out of here I want to go home", while everyone of the nusces in ignoring her. When I go to leaver they tell me, "oh its ok just pull her off the door and I'll push the button so you can get out". Uh no I don't think so.
Do I really want to do this for the rest of my life?
translation: you had better watch out or i will rape you.
i too am hoping to see pink. hehe
