I have had many therapeutic conversations with my friend, the Pharmacist out Yonder. We have always had some interesting stories from work.
As usual, she tops me again, even when I told her about her old neighbor's not-really-a-surprise-party-anymore surprise party my traveling partner's been planning. (Drat!)
She had to call a doctor recently to get a prior authorization for a certain antipsychotic med dose. She clarified the prescription, found out it needed the prior authorization, and called the insurance company.
The (not so) nice people at the insurance company gave her some information, but told her the MD had to call them back.
She calls the MD to explain the situation, and he says, "I'm not really in the mood to call the insurance company for that."
Really? I said. How can he NOT be in the mood?
I think I'd promptly be in the mood to find another doctor.
That is all...hope you enjoy your day wherever you are.

If you're nice, they'll call you back
Ah, the fun times today discussing how nurses and pharmacists have fun talking to patients and customers.
Yes, it is really true.
And for all of you certified RNs out there, Happy Certified Nurses' Day. You go the extra mile and you rock.
From one certified nurse to another, I raise my glass...cheers!

Fun weekend
I plan on having a bit of fun this weekend if it ever stops raining. Today was beautiful and sunny, until one hour before I was going home. Things turned stormy and the thunder boomed and lightning flashed. I was happy to make it home without getting caught in any hail.
This weekend I'll do two things I don't get to do much: hang out with my girl friends. For part one, it'll be sans little kids (one office mate is bringing her adult daughter along). What fun could a few girls have on a weekend: a spa day,trip to a winery, or retail therapy, you say?
Nope. We're going on a scavenger hunt. Yes, a scavenger hunt, which is held every year at the largest park in RehabLand. It's a cooperative thing among the local municipality, the parks department and the cultural attractions (museums, schools, etc.) that are around located near the park.
It has tons of rules, like no cell phones can be used, and you can't separate in your groups. This includes when you go to the bathroom. (Your group is expected to wait for you outside and not scope out the rest of the course). Besides that, like any other public fun thing to do anymore, you have to sign a release saying it's not their fault if you fall off the carousel or trip down the steps of the museum.
For part two of the girls weekend, my pharmacist friend is coming to town, with husband and kids in tow. It's her annual pilgrimage back to RehabLand, and happily, it coincides with the kids' Spring Break out on the coast. If we're lucky, we'll get a group of friends together and we'll just go to dinner or visit at somebody's house.
While she's here, we plan on starting the book. Still working on a title, but we're starting a chapter called the Top 100 Ways to Annoy Your Pharmacist. She's got 50 and says we can get more by the time she gets here. Should be an interesting weekend!
Enjoy your weekend, wherever you roam! Stay tuned.

Fun Sunday
This is for M., one of my dearest friends in the world who manages a pharmacy out west. She would have been a helluva math teacher if she hadn't decided to be a legal drug dealer for the Evil Empire.

Nuggets for June 16
Here are a few of the latest finds from various blogs on the internet. Enjoy! Happy Monday!
Get some ed-ju-macation (or educating yourself in the blogosphere)
Spook, RN (aka Drug Pusher) talks about the vocabulary of the medical folks he found out there a while ago, called Gallows Humor.
Lost on the Floor has a link to another slang list you may enjoy, if you're looking for something in the same genre. Someone at Madison just told me about the 3H enema last week.
Although, it's not a nursing blog...
Stories of the Incredibly Stupid blog about life in the pharmacy has some really funny stories lately. My favorites are the Making it Fun series and Karma.
