Ahh, vacation. I have a love/hate relationship with vacation. I love to take it, but hate to come back from it. Now, I know that is no revelation or even original thought; we all feel that way. Pharmacists, however, encounter different scenarios every day that embed themselves in our daily fabric. You can't get this shit on vacation.
For example, I was told today by a woman she was allergic to poison ivy. I was intrigued. I hadn't had this kind of agitation or comedic relief in over a week. She had no symptoms, no rash - but had come in contact with poison ivy and was allergic. Now, those in the profession or those with a third grade education know this lady a nutbag. So, it turns out she had "contracted a bad case" of poison ivy back in the day and is now hypersensitive. So sensitive she doesn't have to even touch it to get it. She was pointing to her eye area, but nothing there but wrinkles and a pair of seemingly glassy eyes. I told her not to use the Technu in her hand, as it may harm her eyes. I should've told her it will make her eyes fall out. She'd probably buy that since she was going to treat a nonexistent rash. I think she'll be just fine.
To the old man with the vitamin dilemma: just pick one. Whether it says over 50 formula, regular formula, formula 1, cock hardening formula, twat tightening formula, whatever. They're all the same....I chose for him.
OM: Which of these is best?
ME: Are you over 50? (I must have made his day, he was 119 if he was a day)
OM: Yeah, can't you tell?
ME: Ohhh, those vitamins must be doing the trick!
OM: Heh, I guess...which one is th-
ME: The over 50 formula. It's far and away better than the others. It has just the right mix of vitamins and minerals a growing boy over 50 needs.
OM: Ohhh, golly, that sounds great.
ME: Sure does.
I've learned to just pick one. I save time and he takes vitamins - everybody wins. Everyone except for the regular vitamins, that is. Poor regular vitamins - they suck. Yes, he actually dropped a golly on me.
