    I was getting desmopressin the other day at a pharm that we just happened to stop by during our travels. I had stopped in the weekend before and asked them what they had on hand so that I could be sure and get the drug before having the rx fax'ed. The rx came thru as "take two 1mcg at morning and two in evening". The pharmicist said he couldn't fill the script because he didn't have 1mcg tabs. I told him 2mcg tabs (which I knew he had) would be fine. It puzzled him for a bit and he had to do some cipher'n, but finally said "yeah, I guess that will work". Duh, Winner!

    That's scary vdub! To think that a pharmacist has to think for a second over that is down right scary.

    A lot of people can get very pedantic when it comes to all things medical because they don't want to get sued. I recently reported to X-Ray for a picture of my Right shoulder which was broken and in a sling, but the doctor had written Left shoulder on his request, so they would not do it. It took an hour to track him down and get the request changed.

    Now that is funny, but also sad when you think about it.
