Meds & Counsel without Patience for Patients
Ever heard of Dick’s Last Resort? Never been to the restaurant myself, but I love the concept. It’s like the court jester in medieval times being able to tell the King the harsh truth since everything he said was in—you guessed it—jest. Why has no pharmacy taken up this business practice? If patients expect harsh but fair truth from the pharmacy team, they’ll accept it readily.
Welcome to URxProbablyRxight. The pharmacy of the future where we provide “Meds & Counsel without Patience for Patients.”
Moderna Oddities
[Rph]: “Hey, Vita. To what do we owe the pleasure?”
[Nurse Practitioner]: “I got a lady asking if we can give the Moderna shot anywhere other than her arm? Told her I didn’t think so, but I’d ask you guys.”
[Rph]: “Should I even bother asking her reasoning?”
[CNP]: “She says she plays the violin and doesn’t want a sore arm.”
[Rph]: “Okay. Well, our protocol says we can’t, but you guys might be able to. Give me a sec.”
[CNP]: “Thanks, Marianne.”
[Rph]: “Alright, let’s see if the package insert says anything about alternate sites.”
[CNP]: “Does that say ‘Intentionally Blank’?”
[Rph]: “Yeah, kinda odd. Let’s open her up, though, and see what she has to say about—”
[CNP]: “Is that completely—”
[Rph]: “What the hell is going on?!”
[CNP]: “It’s totally blank.”
[Rph]: “What a waste! It’s bigger than my bed.”
[CNP]: “Oh my god, that’s hilarious!”
[Rph]: “I’m so confused. What is the point of this?”
[CNP]: “You just made my day.”
[Rph]: “So it must not even have a package insert because it’s under an EUA.”
[CNP]: “That’s alright. You know what, I’ll just tell her it’s her arm or nothin’.”
[Rph]: “Okay, yeah. Sorry I couldn’t help.”
[CNP]: “Ohh, you helped alright. That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all week!”
