Today was stressful one for me. I’m sorry to say that I’m not feeling well, I have a sinus infection going on and it is making me miserable. Yes, I’m taking medicine for it, but it is still making me want to just go to bed and stay there. Unfortunately, I don’t have that luxury available to me, I need to go to work.
Anyway, today when I was waiting on a customer who was picking up his medicines. I asked him if he had any questions for the pharmacist about his medications. He asked me for the directions on how and when to take the medicine. I pulled out the prescription bottle from the bag and read the directions from the label to him. Then I asked him if he had any more questions, he said “no” and “thank you” and went on his way.
As soon as he left the pharmacist was all over me like flies on doggie droppings! She lectured me on how I’m not allowed to “counsel” the patients, only she is allowed to “counsel” the patient. I told her that all I had done was read the label to him, and wasn’t I allowed to read the label to him? Well, then she said “yes, of course” I could read the label to him, but I can’t interpret it. Well, I didn’t interpret it, I just read it. Geez, give me a break! This woman is a real doozie! I wish I was independently wealthy and could just stay home!
