Pet Peeves (February 2017)

LAST-MINUTE REQUESTS

When a patient shows up 5 minutes before we close and asks us to fill almost a dozen prescriptions right away.

CONSULTATION INTERUPTION

When patients shout a question at me as I’m advising another patient.

PHARMACY, NOT FAST FOOD

Drive-thru patients who condescendingly joke that they’d like fries with their prescription. It’s neither original nor funny!

IN MY EXPERT OPINION

When a patient gives improper medical advice to another patient waiting in line.
