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 UR_xProbablyR_xight. The pharmacy of the future where we provide “Meds & Counsel without Patience for Patients.”

[Tech]: “Looks like we’re pretty well caught up here. I’m gonna—”
[Tech 2]: “Wow, wow, wow! Fred, come on, what are you doin’!”
[Tech]: “Sorry, Kay! Sorry . . . there we go, I knocked on wood.”
[Tech 2]: “For your sake, you better hope that works.”
[Tech]: “Anyway, I’m gonna make a Keurig. Anybody else need a cup?”
[Tech 2]: “I’m good, thanks.”
[Rph]: “Yeah, Fred, I’ll take another coffee. Here you go—check out my new mug.”
[Tech]: “What’s that say—‘I Love You Daddy’? Where’d you get this, Roger?”
[Rph]: “My wife and daughter made it for me yesterday for Father’s Day.”
[Tech]: “Looks like a 3-year-old wrote this.”
[Rph]: “Well, she’s seven. And I don’t care what you say, it’s the greatest Father’s Day gift ever.”
[Tech]: “Yeah, because it’s from her.”
[Rph]: “No. Because it’s not another damn tie!”
[Tech]: “You don’t even wear ties.”
[Rph]: “Exactly. Guess they finally figured that one out.”
[Tech]: “And what’s this drawing? It almost looks like the Goodyear Blimp.”
[Rph]: “She said it’s supposed to be one of the vitamins she takes every morning.”
[Tech]: “Umm . . . okay, yeah. I, umm—I guess I can see that.”
[Tech 2]: “At least she knows how to use a marker, Fred. You haven’t so much as made a mark on a single stock bottle you’ve opened in the entire 3 years you’ve worked here.”
[Rph]: “Ouch! Shown up by a 7-year-old.”
[Tech]: “Yeah, yeah, whatever. Cream or sugar, Roger?”
[Rph]: “Nope. Black. Just like that Sharpie you never use.”
[Tech]: “Alright you two. Anyone else wanna get their digs in?”
[????]: . . .

. . . [As an employee at UR_xProbablyR_xight, how would you try to influence Fred to mark stock bottles when he opens them?]

Happy Belated Father’s Day!
