Craziness in the pharmacy again. These older african american ladies steped up to the counter the other day and asked for some help.
"Excuse me do you have any other types of the three sixes?"
"No, I've never heard of it, I'm sorry." I reply.
This is where it gets fun...
"You don't know about three sixes medication?"
"Yo daddy knew about three sixes. I want the three sixes with quinine. It'll fix anything."
"I'm sorry we don't have anything like that." I try to say without laughing about 'yo daddy'.
"Oh well, where's your Geritol at?"

Do you want Plan B or Plan C? The morning after pill dilema.
Ok, I'm totally all about women's rights and having access to the morning after pill. I believe that it will stop some unwanted pregnancies. I also believe that I should have no say in what a woman does to her own body. This issue trancends the debate on morals or ethics with the morning after pill.
I just had a lady, not the first one I might add, who came into the pharmacy asking for the morning after pill and said that she had already taken it earlier in the month and wanted to know if she could take it again this month. Ok, let's just take a little more responsibility please! It's $40 for the morning after pill, it just happens to also be $40 for just about every birth control pill, patch, insert... ect. Doesn't it just make logical sense to go on some form of birth control? I guess I just have a problem with people being reckless with their bodies. The morning after pill is not side effect free... it's not tylenol or benadryl! You're playing with hormones here people! See a doctor, go to a clinic, get on the pill!!!
Ok, that's it.

Tuna fish suspension!?!?
Ok, i know this is strange sounding, but I think it is really cool. I just made a tuna fish suspension for dispensing a drug to a cat. I work at a Walgreens and we compound specialty drugs for all different purposes, but this has to be the strangest think I've ever heard of, but it was really cool. Well I guess if a doctor can think of it, we can make it.
