1. At least 10 times a day, someone calls in wanting to get a refill on their "white pill" or their "round pill". Do you realize how many pills are white? Or round? Trust me....a ton of them.
2. I was helping an elderly gentleman check out the other day, and he told me that at his old age he "never buys green bananas because he never knows if he'll be around for them to ripen"
3. A woman was waiting with her daughter for her prescription to be filled. The daughter asked if she could get some candy (a discussion that takes place 100 times a day because the candy rack is conveniently located right next to the pharmacy). The mother replied, "No, it's like I always say, 'Be true to your teeth when you're young, or they will be false to you when you're old.'" The kid was like 3.
4. [I didn't actually experience this one, but the pharmacist I work with told me about it.] A customer came in asking if the pharmacist knew where she could find the "Kentucky" jelly. After a couple of minutes of trying to figure out where this jelly might be, she finally realized that the customer was talking about KY jelly.........................
5. I filled a prescription the other day for birth control. It was written by a Dr. Semen. Dead serious.
5a. There's also a dermatologist in Memphis named Dr. Whitehead.
More to come, I'm certain.
I love it! My favorite is #4-- well #1 is pretty funny too. I know there are more because there are some I have heard that aren't on here... I will have to think about them though.
ReplyDeleteHaha Kentucky jelly!!
ReplyDeleteDr.Whitehead is my dermatoligist. He is older than dirt. And uses a creepy desk lamp with a black light bulb in it to scan your body and "treat" any skin spots that he thinks can be cured by his magic light.
ReplyDeleteI have an appointment with a new dermatoligist in September for obvious reasons....
There is a gynecologist in Memphis named Dr. Sexton. Just adding to weird doctor names.
