My name is Phil and I’m a Pharmacist, you bring me your medicine list.
Cough or cold, I can fix your issue, I can even sell you a box of tissues.
To be like me study is intensive and these drugs back here are rather expensive.
So at night to help sleep sound, CGU is the best all round.
Whoever you are – PHIL
Whatever you do – PHARMACIST
we put the U in CGU.
I wonder if I would find this as funny if I didn’t go to uni with another Phil the Pharmacist?
At work at [the pharmacy][1] today, we had one of those incidents where you wonder if you are on the same planet as everyone else. Details have been removed for obvious reasons.
A lady presenting a prescription was asked “Have we done prescriptions for you before?” to which said lady replies “Yes, I come here all the time.” Clearly one of our *regular customers*!
I dispense prescription, noticing at the time that we have done one (yes, one. Less than two, more than zero) prescription for her in the past. One.
As one of the pharmacy assistants said later, it is good that all of our regular customers are not like that, we would have all lost our jobs years ago!
Clearly, “all the time” == “at least once”.
Reminds me of the language problems I have with my children, where “we **never** do …. (substitute favourite activity or food)” is equivalent to “we haven’t done (activity) for at least a day”.

OK, admittedly, this is just an excuse to test pingbacks in wordpress…
Earlier today, I posted the latest Pharmacy Self Care article at my pharmacy’s news page, this time on [Osteoporosis][1], which is a significant topic in this house.
Good news on that front too, Linda had her Bone Mineral Density test recently, and while her bones are still osteoporotic, they have improved heaps, and the risk of further fracture in the future has dropped markedly.
