Today marks my 6th day of work.
In my last post I detailed all the things that the floater RPh screwed up while I was there at the store. As it turns out, there was more fun to be had after I left for the day. The Saturday RPh had left a note asking her to please log the narcotics while she was there. Between 5 and 6pm she did a whopping 2 scripts, and yet didn’t log the narcs like requested.
The woman who called and screamed about her lifesaving meds was the same woman that the doctor had called and left scripts for on the voicemail (the same doctor who later chewed me a new one because they weren’t filled). As it turns out we did have her medication (a vitamin-b12 injection) in stock; however after I’d checked in both the V and B sections for it and asking her if it would be someplace else and told she couldn’t think of any other place for it to be, she said she’d order it. Naturally, we did actually have it in stock, under its techinical name, cyanosomethingorother. And naturally, it never got ordered.
In addition to the vitamin-b12 injection order fuck-up, she fucked up the script for the syringes for the injection. She simply wrote out the script for 1cc syringes, so I filled it for the most popular ones, and the only question she had for me was what guage needle they should use. First, I’m a tech, so don’t be asking me questions for shit you’re supposed to know. Second, since she never specified that the injection was supposed to be intramuscular, the syringes I used to fill it were too short, something she’d have picked up on if she’d paid attention to what the fuck the doctor was saying in the voice mail and wrote it out for the right damned shit in the first place.
After I left, she took a script for a compound that she’s supposed to be able to make (fuck, even I can crunch up some aspirin and mix it with alcohol), but she left it, telling the patient we needed to order it for Tuesday. She also didn’t fill a script because she wanted one of the regular RPhs to verify that the doctor didn’t just screw up the dosage strength, when it’s actually a pretty common strength to write but requires half a tablet instead of a full one. OH NOES NOT TEH MATHS!!!111!
Tomorrow we’ll be doing some laundry and going to Mom’s. I need to crochet 26 more stars on my afghan and then do the edging, which wouldn’t be incredibly difficult if it weren’t for the fact that on the shorter sides I need to change colors a bunch of times. With any luck, it will be done in another week or so and I can post some pictures of it. And then I can go back to making little animals and playing WoW.

Did this chick not go to school to learn all of this stuff? I mean, I’d like to think that to get the job she had some sort of training or instruction. It was obviously a waste of her money.
BTW, you’ve been tagged!

You’d think that over the 5 years she spent in classrooms that at least something would have sunk in, but alas, no.
At least today’s Sunday pharmacist had a brain.
