Dear seemingly everyone who works in a doctor's office in the town where I work,
Why do you phone in a prescription to me and then hand the written original to the patient? WHY? Do you not realize that when you do this you have given them two prescriptions?
The phoned in order is adequate. It meets all legal requirements for the person to obtain what the good doctor has ordered. It has been this way since before I was born.
So does the written prescription. Which means the patient could hang on to that, come get what you ordered from me, then take that written Rx down the street to another pharmacy and get it again. Annoying when it's penicillin. Possibly malpractice when it's Vicodin.
It's one level of dumb to do this once as a mistake. It's stupid on steroids to do it time and time again, after I've told you time and time again it's unnecessary and dangerously incompetent.
Is it a language problem? Because I have technicians who speak Spanish, Tagalog, and Hindi. If it would help, I could have one of them try to get how incredibly ignorant you are through your thick skull and into that tiny brain of yours.
Maybe I should just teach you a lesson. ATTENTION JUNKIES: If you would like to double your pill-seeking productivity, just drop me a line and I'll give you the contact info of the doctors I know who'll insist on giving you two prescriptions when one will do. Twice as many Somas or half the amount of work! The choice will be yours! It'll be like hitting the narcotic mother lode!
Rush Limbaugh is exempt from this offer. He'll have to get his fix the same way he always has.
OK, I'm kidding about spilling the doctor info, but I had you going there for a second, didn't I junkies? I wouldn't be surprised if I still get a couple emails.
And I wouldn't be surprised, Dr. Dumbass, if there isn't already a junkie or two who've figured this out on their own.
Good luck with your malpractice insurance after the DEA investigation. I'm sure the underwriter will give you their best rate.
Love,
Drugmonkey.
