After all those aforementioned REAL problems, mine seems petty. It is, however, very real to me.
In retail pharmacy, this is flu shot season. Even working with fewer than ever staff, we have to drop everything to give flu shots.
My pharmacy processes 380 new prescriptions per day and sells as many at the pick up window. We do this over 14 hours with one Pharmacist and one CPhT working until the next shift comes on.
Basically, we are expected to handle every transaction in less than 1 minute.
We have 3 incoming phone lines, a walk-up counter and a fucking drive-up window!
“Do you want a fast prescription, or do you want the correct prescription?”
I’m in constant debate with myself over options of; quit this job, shoot myself, punch people in the nose, blow up corporate headquarters or embrace being insane and think of the comfort of a padded cell?
Enter prozac and xanax. Ask your pharmacy professionals what THEY take just to survive
