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.”

Work-Related Media

[Intern]: “Hey, Marianne. You see that ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES AMERICA commercial about the Olympics?”
[Rph]: “Which one’s that?”
[Intern]: “The one with—I don’t know—4 or 5 people talking, and 2 of them pull up their sleeves to show a Band-Aid, like, right here.”
[Rph]: “Ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They had it halfway down their arms.”
[Intern]: “Basically on their biceps, yeah.”
[Rph]: “So annoying. I actually read an article—well, not an article exactly, but a piece, for lack of a better word—anyway, it talked about that commercial.”
[Intern]: “The one on UrProbablyRight.com?”
[Rph]: “Yeah, Owen. That’s the one. You read that garbage, too.”
[Intern]: “Garbage? I kinda like reading his stuff.”
[Rph]: “Okay, maybe garbage is a bit harsh. It’s just . . . how do I explain it. It’s like, kind of annoying—”
[Intern]: “But just annoying enough to keep you coming back.”
[Rph]: “Exactly!”
[Intern]: “It is a good point about how stupid that bandage placement is, though. I mean, how many people have you had pull their tight sleeve up to, like, an inch above their elbow and say, ‘Is this high enough?’”
[Rph]: “Hell, just yesterday I had a lady making a fist and tapping her vein like I was giving her an IV.”
[Tech]: “You two braniacs are missing the big picture. UrProbablyRight.com?! They basically stole our store’s name!”
[Rph]: “Good point, Jaycee. I’ll have to call my lawyer.”
[Tech]: “Maybe just send ‘em a note to see if we can get some free advertisement.”
[Intern]: “But more customers will mean more work for us.”
[Tech]: “True. Very true. Yeah, you should sue ’em, Marianne!”
