Spring Into Action!
Spring is in the air saying "Hey little plants it's time to make some chlorophyll and get cooking with your pretty petaled reproductive parts!"  Everyone is enjoying the allergy nightmare caused by this regrowth and going gung-ho on their annual household deep cleaning but there seems to be a great disconnect with spring cleaning and your health.  I have a new spring cleaning routine for you, your family members, your friends, your healthcare providers, and just everyone everywhere who needs to deep clean their health and medication routine!Clear off a table and let's get started.1. Line up all of your presc...

What Flame Broils My Patty
You know what flame broils my patty? This broken ass health care system that allows most prescription companies to give patients oral contraceptives for free but immediately life saving medications are prohibitively expensive.Glucagon Emergency kits should be $0 copay because they immediately treat low blood sugar that can result in LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, COMA, and DEATH.Epipens and Auvi-Q should be $0 copay because they immediately treat severe allergic reactions that can lead to CLOSURE OF BREATHING AIRWAYS and DEATH.Rescue inhalers such as Proair, Ventolin HFA, Proventil HFA, and Xopenex HFA should be $0 ...

Blame It On Obamacare
Oh yes, it's super easy to blame all your healthcare woes on Obamacare!  I'm not gonna let you do that in 2014 because there are certain truths that will always be:Drug copays increase January 1Deductibles reset January 1I am going to preemptively set out a cheese plate in the waiting room so you have accompaniment for your whine.  Your copays go up every January and you are still gonna bitch and moan like a 5 year old that didn't get a balloon at the birthday party.  Well suck it up cupcake because I am gonna get all grinchy poo on your whiney ass when the first syllable of Obamacare bounces off your pathet...

Gummy Tummy
A morbidly obese middle age male came to the pharmacy to get an rx for Reglan.  He was telling me about how he had problems with his stomach emptying but his physician was sure the issue could be fixed with bariatric surgery. He then complained that one lady at the office told him he wouldn't have to follow any diet plan then a different lady told him he would have to follow a diet plan.  He also complained that the surgery needed to happen soon because he was losing health insurance coverage at the end of the year.  He purchased five boxes of $1 movie theater candy (Mike & Ikes, Gummy Lifesavers, etc) w...

Congratulations! You're a Loser!
I am a body that fills in a space at any number of chain pharmacy locations in the large midwestern state I dwell in. & nbsp;Different cities and counties have different laws concerning sales of Sudafed containing products. & nbsp;Most areas have an rx only requirement but when I work at the ones that allow Sudafed sales with a government issued photo ID the antics ensue. < br / > < br / > The only acceptable forms of ID are passports, military photo ID, driver ' s license or state ID. & nbsp;Some people try & nbsp;to pass off expired IDs, stolen IDs, library cards, public pool photo ID, employment badge, etc. & nbsp;Each ...

New Year's Day: The Scriptpocalypse Begins
Football has March Madness and Christmas has Black Friday but retail pharmacy has New Year ' s Day. NYD is a magical time when practically all prescription insurance copays go up, people forget they have a massive deductible or their insurance completely changed and they conveniently have no who/what/when/where/why/how knowledge of their new insurance provider and an ID card has not shown up in their snail mail box. These are the worst of times because pharmacy employees generally become punching bags and the root of all evil when it is no fault of our own. < div > < br / > < /div > < div > An extra special addition for ...
