Thread: Pharmacy Conversation

As some of you know, my old doggie has been diagnosed with diabetes. Typically he gets his medication at the vet's office. However, his insulin and syringes come from the "people pharmacy". The vet called in the medication to the pharmacy where I get my medication.

Here's how the conversation went . . .

Worker goes to see if I have medication to pick up. They know me.

"I don't see anything for you. Did you call it in?"

No, it's for my dog.

"What's his name?"

Gene

"Gene?"

Yes, Gene. G-e-n-e.

"Last name."

Uhhh . . . Day. (He didn't change his last name with I got married.)

"Here it is, Gene Day. I see he's not been here before. We'll need some information from him." slight giggle "What's Gene's mailing address?"

I give the address for my parents since he lives there.

More giggles. " . . . and what's Gene's phone number in case we need to call?"

Oh, he's deaf so you'll have to talk to one of my parents if you call. Actually, talk to my mom. Dad's almost as deaf as Gene.

Medication is paid for and I turn to leave . . . and encounter some of the most amused faces on the other customers. :lol:
