Humor at the pharmacy - Patient's Guide

PATIENT'S GUIDE TO PHARMACY ETIQUETTE (HUMOR)

1. BE SURE TO STARE AT THE PHARMACIST WHILE YOUR PRESCRIPTION IS BEING FILLED. STARING AT THE PHARMACIST MAKES HIM/HER WORKFASTER.
2. NEVER REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE MEDICATION YOU WANT REFILLED. BY CALLING IT "THE LITTLE WHITE PILL" YOU ARE SURE TO RECEIVE THE CORRECT MEDICATION.
3. WHEN CALLING IN EIGHT PRESCRIPTIONS OR MORE, ALWAYS ARRIVE ATTHE PHARMACY TO PICK THEM UP WITHIN MINUTES. IT IS OKAY TO HURRY THE PHARMACISTS, IF THEY MAKE A MISTAKE IT WON'T KILL YOU.
4. FEEL FREE TO ASK THE PHARMACY STAFF FOR THE EXACT PRICE OF YOUR PRESCRIPTION BEFORE IT IS FILLED. THE STAFF SHOULD KNOW EVERY CO-PAY FOR EVERY PLAN FOR EVERY INSURANCE COMPANY.
5. ALWAYS ASK HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO FILL A PRESCRIPTION. IF YOU'RE LUCKY, YOU WILL GET IT FREE IT IT'S NOT READY IN 30 MINUTES OR LESS. ALSO, BE SURE TO ASK IF THE PRESCRIPTION IS READY EVERY 5 MINUTES, PHARMACISTS OFTEN KEEP THEM AFTER THEY ARE READY JUST TO PISS YOU OFF.
6. BE SURE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CO-PAY. THE CO-PAY IS SET ONTHE WHIM OF THE PHARMACIST AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INSURANCE COMPANY.
7. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PRESENT YOUR INSURANCE CARD, OR EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY. PHARMACISTS ARE PSYCHIC AND KNOW EVERYBODY'S INSURANCE.
8. PHARMACISTS ENCOURAGE FORGERY. WHEN PICKING UP A PRESCRIPTION FOR SOMEONE ELSE PLEASE FORGE THEIR NAME.
9. UPON CALLING IN A REFILL FOR MAINTENANCE MEDICATION WITHOUT REFILLS, ALWAYS QUESTION WHY THE DOCTOR HAS TO BE CALLED WHEN YOU'VE TAKEN THE SAME MEDICATION FOR YEARS. IT IS ONLY AMYTH THAT PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS HAVE TO BE ORDERED BY YOUR DOCTOR.
10. ALWAYS QUESTION WHY THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS SO CONCERNED WITH YOU GETTING MEDICATION TEN DAYS TOO SOON. AFTER ALL YOU'RE PAYING $5.00 FOR IT, AND THAT'S ALL IT COSTS.
11. OVER THE COUNTER DISPLAYS ARE PUT THERE IN ORDER TO ENTERTAIN CHILDREN. PLEASE ENCOURAGE THEM TO PLAY WITH ANY ITEM, AND EVEN OPEN ONE OR TWO.

Editorial Note:

Not to be taken seriously but rather as short funny reading.
