Man calls the pharmacy this morning, gives me his name, and asks me one of the most popular questions we hear on Thursday afternoons.
“When can I refill my Vicodin?”
I check his profile, and see that he should have another 5 days worth of his last fill, and after verifying when we can fill it next, I politely tell him that he’s 5 days too early, and to give us a call next week. I brace myself for the seemingly inevitable argument or whining about why he needs to get it refilled almost a week early, but he was surprisingly polite as he explained himself. “Ok, I just needed to check when I could get it filled. You see, I went camping over the weekend…”
Here it comes, I’m thinking. A friend stole it. They fell in a mountain stream. My tent leaks and the rain dissolved them.
“… and the bears took it.”
