10 ways to annoy a pharmacist

1. constantly demand to go 1st.

' i later have to fetch my ahmoi la!'
'i take only 1 medicine boh!!!'
i later have to work u know?'


2.  questioning. interrogating.

'eh u sure this medicine correct or not.
back then i dont think i have this wor..
if wrong i die how?!'


3. distrusting u.

1st, ---' true boh? '
then ---'correct one hor?'
then then ---' right one right?'

and then 3 minutes later u see her asking another pharmacist
 'eh just now what he say correct ar?'


4. speaking in unknown alien dialect.

'wa dan jin gu liao, gui shi ga gao wa.'

darab 3 the speed.
uncle u talk what cock !!!!!???


5. miscommunication.

pharmacist : 'auntie, zhe leh jiak bah goh liap.' (auntie,这个吃饱五粒)
translation: 'auntie, this one lepas makan eat 5 biji'

patients: 'oooo. jiak bak goh liap' (ooo.吃百五粒)
translation: 'ooo. eat hundred and five biji'



6. asking for more medicine.

'this one give me 1 more packet la. that time i come tht boy boy also got give me!'

1st. who is your boy boy?
2nd. u think u buying pork or chicken in pasar ar?


7. the oh-so-great -doctors.

tolong fill up your prescription properly can or not.

Pumuwummuw

is never the way to spell Paracetamol.


8. describing a medicine by its colour, size.

' neh. tht white colour one ar. small small one leh. u all got or not ar?'

AT LEAST la tell me what's it for!!!!


9. oh-so-great-doctor part 2.

*ring ring*

pharmacist : 'hello doctor ar. u prescribe this patient Lim Ah Beng.....'

almighty doctor : 'WHAT WHAT?! NOW CANNOT MER?! WHAT'S THE PROBLEM!?'

pharmacist : '..... unless u want to see Mr Potassium. no, u dont give him 6g KCl tds. '

 (of course ur giahsee friend here dont dare say that la)


10. oh-so-great-doctor part 3.

pharmacist : ' mrs lim ar. this drug FORSAMAX PLUS unfortunately is a controlled drug in our hospital, as in very expensive la. need a form called KBUK form. please get it and signed from doctor.


half an hour later, patient come back with a Dangerous Drug Form signed by the said doctor.



that's my 3 weeks in outpatient department as a pharmacist.
Fun, i have to admit.
