At my pharmacy, working towards sanity is my main objective. I'd learned that:
- Benadryl for children does NOT have a recommended dose for 5 years and younger kids (need a pic)
- Another AIDS med, ISENTRESS
, makes me feel a bit uneasy that there is another AIDS patient, cautiously trying to live a normal life, silently. - A patient's dad,
who happened to be a doctor, showed up to want to pick up his son's TAMIFLU caps 
. Somehow we selected a wrong insurance, and the flu med was not being paid for. I offered the doctor and also the father the phone to call the insurance. He did and for about 5 minutes on the phone. Eventually, we both found out that we had selected the incorrect insurance. TAMIFLU was paid for after all. I felt sorry for wasting the doctor's time. For the father, I did not have any feeling :P - Express Script and Anthem are the same PBM processor?!
- This college student dropped by, seeking advice on how to lessen the swollen cold sore spot. He contracted the cold sore at his gym, he suspected. I should have said that cold sore cannot be passed from another dude's sweat gland!! Can it??
- A relatively young man came asking us to process a cream, that had been faxed to us a while back. It was EFUDEX (fluorouracil) 5% cream. He said he had been putting this med off. Wondering why? So I processed the prescription. Too much money he would have to pay, he hesitated, and said would have to re-consider. Reconsider what?? A few more minutes later, he came back, and paced in front of the pharmacy, waiting for me to call his name to pick up the cream. What brought him back? Imminent danger, I assume??
