At least the patient kind of knew the names of his meds. Usually its "you know the little round yellow one."

It sounded legit until he said, "I'll have it ready in 15 minutes." He really meant 3 hours and 28 minutes.

Working at a pharmacy:
"Just fill whatever I have due, I don't know what they're called and I don't have time for this."
*comes to pick it up*
"I didn't want that one!"

Or... the woman speaking condescendingly to the pharmacist: "No, Hon, I don't take acetaminophen. That stuff isn't good for you. I know, I do my homework. I just take the Tylenol my doctor suggested and that works fine." While the pharmacist nods and dies a little inside. Lol

"No, Tums." Is a brilliant punchline.

As a former pharmacy tech, I can tell you that we rarely have it done in 15 minutes unless it’s a really good day. Especially when four people call at the same time all asking for multiple medications to be done at the same time.

Truth! Currently in my department at my home pharmacy we have a list of all the medications both patients and staff say incorrectly, bc yes we still get them wrong too. Anyway….we have a list that we are using as a game for our holiday season called….What Medication Do You Need? Figure out the right answers and you get a prize :) So far we have a list of 10, we’re hoping to get fifteen individual drugs before December. My personal favorites so far are meatinon and aveon.

Once I did a med rec on a patient on about 20 meds and she knew them all well, what they're for, and when to take them, and kept track of everything! A rare exception. But usually it's like this, trying to sort through mispronunciations that aren't always all that close, or completely forgetting the name and what it's for, when they take it, etc.

I love that our pharmacist is just chillin, holding a mortar and pestle for no apparent reason for the entire time that he's on the phone.

[bodyofhope]

He doesn't want to take the French pill, but he's happy to take the Italian pill 🤣💃💃💃

I was a Cpht for years and this is so accurate. We had a patient on Norvasc and they called and said they needed their NASCAR refilled...and was dead serious😑 What’s great is when they call and say they need their “blood pressure medication”, you pull up their profile and they take 4 different blood pressure medications and none of them are due to be refilled.🤦🏻‍♂️

As a pharmacy tech, I feel this in my soul

[catlinboy]

A patient once called clopidigrel 'cloppy-dog-rel' and I've called it that ever since. Sometimes you can be so wrong that you;ve actually shown how wrong everyone else was. Omeprazoley may tick that box too.

[evastickler]

I like how he’s just holding a mortar & pestle in one hand while on the phone just so we know which one is the pharmacist 😂

[infallibleblue]

Bless the pharmacy. I’ve worked in pharmacy for ten years and 5 in medical and we all need each other for the patient care.

[evenstar]

Pharmacists really are a savior and they always know what I'm talking about even when I can barely remember a medication name. ❤️

[iananderson]

"I don't want a French pill." The deadpan delivery rofl😂

[ladymoon]

This loops so well, I sat it down and listened to about 5-6 loops while I had to fix something before I realized that the person was in fact NOT in a looping medical nightmare but that the video itself was looping

[ArtistMadrid]

Lol I wish he was my pharmacist... Seems like fun times 😆

[sarahabc]

I’m a pharmacist, this is more info than I usually get. Usually it’s the yellow pill (b complex tablets), head pills (paracetamol), stomach pills (omeprazole), gastric pills (pantoprazole) ...etc
