You only want the Ery?…what?!
You know the routine, a sketchy character comes with a couple of rx’s usually an antibiotic and a pain killer and only wants the pain med. Happens all the time. We have an urgent care center nearby so this happens quite a bit. Thankfully the Dr. writes all his prescriptions on one blank so the patient cannot pocket one and fill the other. Today we had a guy bring in one of these rx’s for Ery 500 and some Vicodin. On the script the tech wrote “hold” by the Vicodin. I took a second look and asked Are you sure you got this right? Fill the antibiotic and hold the Vicodin? It was affirmed and I filled the rx. When I did the counseling he said the Dr thought he’d need some pain relief, but he didn’t hurt that much. He didnt’have insurance so he didnt’ want to buy something he wasn’t going to use.
Hell didn’t freeze over, Pigs didn’t fly…Cool.
