"Healthcare" or the War on Health.



I met a passive aggressive tech who put Rx labels on crooked but only on bottles containing Paxil for customers treated for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

I searched all the Paxil patients on the shelf, reapplied the labels and wondered....who has OCD?



 ...wasting.



The acquisition cost of medication is rising faster than the reimbursement schedules...for months independent pharmacies lose money to fill regular customers scripts.  This seems to happen cyclicly routinely.
Is it even a profession if a person/business cannot set their own rates and prices?


...our.


New computer generated prescriptions... I am happy they are legible.... but still without quantities or strength noted or with conflicting directions.   No one goes to the bank with a check that is not signed or dated or has no amount written.  How can these clarification phone calls be necessary?


...lives.


Certified Techs with AA degrees introduce themselves looking for jobs.

"Run away!" I want to say.

"Be healthy and be free."
