. | "yes doctor. 2 tabs 3 times a day. you know
doctor the usual dose is one tab 3 times a day. oh, ok 2 tabs 3 times a day. thank
you." as I hung up the phone the other line rang furiously. oh well, I cant answer
it. I have to take this RX from the customer approaching. "hi. welcome to bite-aid
pharmacy. can I help you?" "yes. I would like you to call my doctor for a
prescription. I lost the one he gave me." ok, mam. IM very backed up today can you
give me 2 hour.., err, I mean, 20 minutes." "ok. Here's his number. 000-0000. Ill
be back in 15 minutes." "thank you mam. I'll call right away." I don't know
why, but this lady makes me nervous. Also, didn't I say 20 minutes? I better put this pile
of Rx's on the side for now and call her doctor. I have a bad feeling about this one. Ok
000-0000. one ring, two rings. "Hello. Doctors office. If this is a medical emergency
which is life threatening; dial 911. Can I help you?" "Yes. Hi. This is Bite Aid
pharmacy. I'm calling for a Ms. PIA, she lost her prescription and wants me to call her
doctor for a new one." "Ms. PIA? We haven't seen her in over a year. You must have the wrong number." "OK. Ill check with her when she comes back. Thank you." Ok, wrong number. Ill chew another Pepto-Bismol, try to finish this pile of Rx's, answer the phone, ring-up customers, and advise people on the correct use of their meds till she gets back. |
