Telepathic pharmacy.
On a similar vein as dearest Dr Grumpy, here is my own entry for wishing I would read minds.
Yesterday morning we got an e-script for one of our customers. It was Macrobid 100, #14, 1 bid. I went to fill this rx and noted a warning for allergy to nitrofuran derivatives. Its not a common allergy so it was duly noted. I quit filling the prescription and called the office. I got the nurse right away. What she said stunned me.
PC: “Hi, PC here, we got a allergy notation on this patient about nitrofuran antibiotics and you have prescribed these for Mrs Ima Hogg.”
Nurse: “yes, I realized that after I had transmitted it, you can cancel it”.
PC: “Um,were you going to call us about that mistake? and do you want to give something else?”
Nurse:” we are talking to the dr. we will call you later”.
They never called us that day. And, if you noticed…they didnt’ answer my first question.
