There's just nothing like working a Sunday in the pharmacy. I don't quite understand it, but the ratio of irrational to rational people increases incredibly. Just a couple of examples that all happened just during today's shift:
1) A lady calls me and asks me what manufacturer of Morphine we have because "She has to have the little pink oblong tablets, and no other Morphine will work for her."
2) 75% of the prescriptions we filled were for Lortab.
3) A patient was traveling into town and had forgot her medication. She then asked if I could just "give her a few" to get her by until she got home. When I told her that I could not unless I could contact her home pharmacy and get the prescription transferred, she got angry, told me her home pharmacy was closed, and then hung up on me.
4) Another patient called and claimed she needed an early refill on her Ativan "because I'm moving and I packed it and can't find it."
Always a joy working the weekend.
