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.”
Mind Your Manners
[Patient]: “One more comment like that and I will rock you like Chris Smith did to—”
[Tech]: “What’s that now?”
[Pt]: “Did I just say ‘Chris Smith’?”
[Tech]: “Yeah. And you also said ‘Will Rock’.”
[Pt]: “No I didn’t.”
[Tech]: “Yeah, you said, ‘I Will Rock you like Chris Smith.’ Which is a threat I’m willing to overlook.”
[Pt]: “I guess I did. Their names are just crying out for word play, aren’t they?”
[Tech]: “Yeah. Ohh, and—you know what—if you say Chris Smith really fast, what’s it sound like?”
[Pt]: “Chris Smith. Chrissmath. Christmath. Christmas!”
[Tech]: “Will rock Christmas—”
[Pt]: “With a smack to the face.”
[Tech]: “I think we’ve got a Christmas tune in the making.”
[Pt]: “Destined to be a holiday favorite for years to come.”
[Tech]: “At least until Will Smith is allowed back at the Oscars.”
[Pt]: “So decades, hopefully.”
[Tech]: “About the same time you’ll be allowed back here once I tell the cops you threatened me!”
[Pt]: “Sure you want to go there, Fred. What would your mother say about that?”
[Tech]: “You’d say I should treat others like I’d want to be treated. Then you’d complain this place is corrupting the good manners you taught me.”
[Pt]: “And I’m not above Will Smithing some of those manners back in you.”
