Plus! They never sit down or at least, all of them I worked with. I swear I could be around a phamacist for a year and hardly ever see them sitting down to eat. One joked w/ me, her dad was a RPH too, that at seminars or whatever, there are no chairs!
I had a lot of admiration for about 85% of pharmacists that I worked with. They really take a LOT OF SHIT from patients who haven't got a clue bout nothing.
Their clerks call in sick on a real regular basis and aren't worth a shit while they are there, by and large.
The DM screws up the schedule and the store that should have 3 RPH's gets one for the day.
And worst of all!!!! When people are waiting for their script, they are all watching the back of the pharmacist's head. It's like everyone is watching TV hoping that things will move along faster.
Sorry to ramble but 7 years at Eckerd gives one a lot of baggage. :-)P
> I think the person who chooses and stays to choose a career in community or retail Pharmacy are a rare breed. Retail is a tough business anyway and to combine that with critical thinking, scientific, medical, math, inside a windowless room filled with bottles and being asked questions in person and by phone all day...
