Rude Patients

I don't understand why patients are so rude to the pharmacy staff, and more importantly, I don't know why we allow it.

Obviously, the pharmacist is making $1 or more per hour to fill scrips as efficiently and safely as possible, however, that does not mean that we should be able to be treated like shit. I have continued to notice a pattern developing; the poorer the patient, the more rude they are. What pisses me off even more is that a large chunk of my paycheck is paying for these shitbag's Percocet, Soma...(insert any abused substance here).

Recently, I have been reading The Pharmacy Alliance's DSI Agreement, which they suggest all Pharmacists have their employer sign before in turn signing a contract. I strongly agree with all of these guidelines, and I swear that when I am a pharmacist I will not be treated like complete shit.

Fuck being caring for extremely rude people who obviously think they don't need they help or just want to get high.

I will send them elsewhere...this sort of treatment should not be tolerated.
