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.”
Prescription Toothpaste
[Rph]: “I can never understand why you guys put this as a 25-day supply.”

[Tech]: “The computer uses 2 grams as the default for—”
[Rph]: “I mean, how much toothpaste do you use, Dillon?”
[Tech]: “I don’t know. I guess the normal amount. I just squeeze—”
[Rph]: “Do you squeeze the tube straight into your mouth until your cheeks are all puffed out like a squirrel storing nuts for the winter, then stick the brush in and go to town?”
[Tech 2]: “Squirrels don’t keep nuts in their mouths all winter. They bury ‘em.”
[Rph]: “Or do you just think—who’s this script for—Mark Hickory. Do you think Mark brushes his teeth like that?”
[Tech 2]: “Wait, are you serious?! The script’s for Mark Hickory?”
[Rph]: “Yeah, why?”
[Tech 2]: “Hickory’s a nut. Squirrels love hickory nuts.”
[Rph]: “Ohh, now you’re a squirrel expert, Lesley?! We’re here talking about toothpaste and you weasel in a bunch of squirrel facts.”
[Tech 2]: “Weasel, huh? Anybody got any weasel facts for Roger?”
[Rph]: “I’d just like some facts about how this damn toothpaste could only last 25 days!”
