The Truth Is A Bitter Pill To Swallow
Customer: “Why isn’t my prescription ready yet?”
Me: “We’re trying to get in contact with your doctor because of a problem with the prescription. Your profile says you’re allergic to penicillin. Is that correct?”
Customer: “Oh, yeah, that stuff is really bad for me!”
Me: “The medication your doctor prescribed has penicillin in it, so we’re trying to get a hold of him to find out what he wants you to take.”
Customer: “Oh, well, he wants me to take the penicillin. That’s what he wrote down, right?”
Me: “Yes, but you said you were allergic to it.”
Customer: “But he’s a doctor, so he knows what’s best. If that’s what he wrote, then just give me that.”
Me: “Well, we’ll check with him first to make sure that it’s safe for you.”
Customer: “Of course it’s safe for me or the doctor wouldn’t have prescribed it! He probably just cured my allergies. Check my old prescriptions; I bet he prescribed me something to cure my allergy!”
