another thing....

So, the computer generated prescription that makes it easy to read? It also makes it easy for the doctor to repeat mistakes. Had an rx for morphine today. Read: Morphine 30mg sr 1 tab tid. Turns out the woman takes 2 tabs tid. And she was really pissed at us because "we" made the same mistake last time. Ranted about how she never had this problem at her "old" pharmacy.

folks,t he pharmacy I was at today was a large chain discount pharmacy. If it had been a regular one, I would have offered to fix the problem after calling the doctor and deliver it. But it wasn't. she came here because it was cheap. Lady, your doctor screwed up on the last prescriptiion on the computer and then just copied it over again for the new one. Including the mistake. It is NOT us that fucked up, it was your doctor. I'm sorry it inconveniences you. But I have to dispense it as written. I can get it fixed. But it is after business hours, so it will have to wait till tomorrow. Deal with it.
