I write this on a short break I am taking at work today. As I have stated many times, I work for a classy pharmacy.
A few minutes ago we were presented at our window a Rx for compression stockings for an elderly woman with severe edema. The pharmacist handed them the tape measure and told them to measure her in the car and give us the numbers.
Anyone who has regularly worked with these is screaming at their monitor right now.
Earlier the same pharmacist filled someone's Fentanyl prescription even though we won't receive the actual hard copy until Monday at the earliest (and no, that is not legal in this state under any circumstances).
And to think, we have kids from high school job shadowing here all the time.
Sigh, if only people would listen to me here...

The fentanyl thing is just jaw-droppingly stupid, and you could get in legal trouble if you know about it and don't say anything. CALL THE DEA NOW!!!!!
Oh don't worry, I'm on that one come Monday morning
I believe it is legal actually under certain circumstances including if the pharmacist has spoken to the physician and it is an 'emergency' situation. But you already know that don't you since you obviously care a lot about your patients.
Like he said not legal in his state some states there are some legal emergency cII's and some states there is no way could be done like how it sounds where he is.
This seems like a lot of bitching going on. I think a self-reflection is in order... why try to work in a field where you feel everyone you work with is an idiot and everyone you work to provide services for is one as well?
