Fantasies
Sometimes I feel the urge to act out my fantasies, but I guess that would earn me an audience with the higher-ups, whom I have no wish to see. So here I am, indulging myself by posting a blog on things that I would have done to the stupid patients that I see everyday.
Scenario 1
I pressed the green button to generate a queue number for the patient, took one of the tickets and told the patient to take the other. Patient looked around and proceed to walk off. Normally, I would call the patient back and repeat what I just told them about the queue ticket.
However, what I really want to say is, "Come back here you stupid, and take the queue number. So stupid till you can't understand simple instructions?!"
Or, "Eh bimbo, will you just take the queue ticket!" If the patient is a young lady.
Scenario 2
Patient asked me if the glucosamine I dispensed to him/her was from animal source. When I told her it is derived from animal sources, they started ranting and raving as if they were possessed by an animal on how we should not be giving him/her glucosamine from animal sources as he/she is a vegetarian. *roll my eyes*
Usually I would give the patient an irritated look and ask if he/she told the doctor that she is a vegetarian. However, there was just once I was so pissed off that I actually asked the patient if the words "I'm a Vegetarian" were carved on her forehead. Got the patient there, and I quickly followed it with a rhetorical question, "If those words aren't on your forehead, then who knows you're a vegetarian?"
Amazing how people simply do not think it important to communicate such information to their doctors and waited till they are at the pharmacy to inform us.
Scenario 3
I am busy dispensing to a patient, and this other patient has to interrupt me just to ask me what he/she needs to do with his/her prescription. Depending on my mood, I may ask the patient to read the instructions or help the patient press the green button for a queue number.
However, what I really want to do is to tell the patient, "Are you stupid or what? The instructions are right in front of you, and don't you have eyes to see that I am busy with another patient here?! If I missed out any information in my counseling and anything happens to this patient, I will come after you with a vengeance."
Scenario 4
I was busy dispensing to a patient, another patient came with the prescription, looked at the instructions, decided it is not worth the time reading them, simply dropped the prescription without a queue ticket attached into the tray then walked off.
After I finished with my first patient I would have to call the patient back and ask the stupid question of whether they took any queue number. Proceed to press the green button and give them a queue ticket.
What I really want to do is just ignore the prescription. It can sit in the tray till the molecules of the paper form a permanent bond with the molecules of the tray. My life is too short to be wasted on such stupid people.
Scenario 5
Patient complained our waiting time was long. I kept my trap shut and continue to dispense as fast as I can.
What I want to do is to tell them if they find our waiting time is long, they can always collect their medicine at the main pharmacy. What I would not tell them is the waiting time at the main pharmacy can be as long as 2 hours, whilst mine is only about 20-25mins on really really busy days.
