Windows In The Pharmacy, New Meds For Covid + Boosters For All??, Let's Get Thankful Nov 19, 2021

Show notes

And we're back! So so great to hang with you all again after missing last week. Because it's been a minute, we have so much to cover this week: why do covid-positive patients come TO THE PHARMACY?? I also vent about a pediatric vaccine nightmare-level situation and we talk some BIG covid news: 2 new medications on the horizon to treat this stupid virus aaaand potential boosters for ALL adults coming soon. Like, really soon. We end with chatting about the cool relationships you can have over the phone with fellow pharmacists/techs down the street and also discuss what YOU are thankful for this past year in pharmacy. Enjoy, friends and happy Thanksgiving!

Smooth Operator, Pfizer Approved For Kids, Pharmacist Of The Week Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

Another day, another procrastination week for yours truly. I'm actually excited for how much we were able to cover on the show considering I was racing against time having to head into work. But you guys brought the heat AGAIN this week, as usual. We get into a jabber vs. shooter response (apparently, it's a thing??), techs as pharmacy managers, Pfizer approved for ages 5-11 *insert scream sound*, and a PHARMACIST OF THE WEEK. This actually coincides with potentially one of the worst patient interactions I've heard on the show, btw. It's sure to get your BP and HR rising, if you're like me. Enjoy, friends! Until next time, keep fighting.

Reach out to me through Twitter and Facebook to let me know what you want to talk about! Now that Pfizer is approved for ages 5-11, there are sure to be some stories and I'd love to hear it. Thank you all for your continued submissions, love, and support.

Halloween Episode!, Boosters & Mix/Match Approved, Jabber Or Shooter?, Scary Shift Beginnings Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

Warning: This episode may contain scary, terrifying, and/or spine-chilling content... it's not for the faint of heart. That's right friends, grab your costumes and candy buckets, it's the Halloween episode! We get into all things spooky this week including all boosters + mix/match of boosters being approved (scary enough by itself), whether you're a jabber or a shooter when giving a vaccine, and a personal patient of the week that is sure to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. We celebrate the end of October and end with the SCARIEST things that can happen at the beginning of a pharmacy shift. Enjoy!

Continue to reach out through Facebook and Twitter for any responses, patients of the week, vaccine woes, etc. You have to vent? I want to hear it! Remember, you're not alone.

It's Cold Outside!, The First Vaccine You Ever Gave, Come Closer Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

Deep breaths, everyone. We're definitely in the thick of it right now. Covid vaccines, boosters, flu shots, and new additional boosters/age range extensions on the horizon. I feel the heaviness too so, trust me, you're NOT alone. This week on the show - my million dollar idea to make patients nicer, discussing national pharmacy week (yay?), and me being way too excited that it's getting cold outside. Also, remember the feeling of giving your first vaccine? Scary, right? Yeah, me too. Finally, some patients come to the pharmacy and stand too far away. Why do they do this?? Let's talk about it. Enjoy, friends!

You can always connect with me and the show through Facebook and Twitter if you have a patient of the week, need to vent, have a response, feedback, etc - whatever it is, I want to hear it! You're all the best, I truly appreciate you all for your support.

A CPR Certification Vent, Moderna Boosters, Happy Technician Day! Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

What a fun one this week. So much to get to.... yet I feel like this was one of those episodes where staying on track was a challenge lol. I blame vacation brain but hey, either way, we had a great time. This week we jump into a ton: How early you like to get to work on average, the "dark cloud" of vacation, Moderna Booster news (it's commmming!) and the unfortunate event of giving a patient an expired covid vaccine. We end it with a bit of a patient/pharmacy mystery and the basic, yet oh so true statement, that patients often just say/do the STRANGEST things. Enjoy.

To keep this show going, I need you (yes, YOU) to let me know what you want to talk about, discuss, vent, etc - connect with me and the show through Twitter and Facebook. Thank you all so much again for your continued support! Keep fighting.

It's Pharmacists Month!, Hamburger Helper Allergy, When Pts Keep Talking Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

Welp, it's another one of those early-morning-shorter-episode type of weeks. But you get it, right? We're all SO insanely busy... but I couldn't let that stop us from hanging out. I mean there's just too much to talk about, like: how early you wake up for work, American Pharmacists Month (which I totally knew about btw) and a possible 2022 covid vaccine. Patients often have interesting answers about what they're allergic to and other patients... well, let's be honest, they can be too talkative. The question is, what do you do about it? It's another fun one this week... enjoy, friends!

Pfizer Boosters Are Here, Contagious Diabetes?, Name That Refill Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

I'm so glad I have this show and you guys to vent to, if I'm honest. However, this week, I try my best to keep it positive... but probably fail miserably as usual. Where were you when you received the "magical" email stating you were officially live with booster doses? We also jump into booster dose side effects, the dream of cloning your techs, a covid pill coming soon, and patients arguing with you about what street your pharmacy is on. We end it all with a gameshow: Name That Refill!

It's been a blast as usual with you all. Please continue to connect with me and the show and let me know what you want to talk about: Facebook and Twitter.

Keep fighting friends.

More Vaccine Madness, ER Script With No Name, Helping Pts Who May Not "Deserve" It Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

Does it feel like each week at work is tougher than the week before? I feel it, too. You're not alone. This week on the show: patients who don't say "thank you", vaccinating children from age 5 to 11, FDA to approve booster doses for larger % of the population, an awesome Tech Of The Week and a hilarious Patient Of The Week (as usual). Finally, sometimes we often feel like patient's don't deserve our help. Let's talk about it... and more.

You guys seriously rock my world, each and every week... with all of your submissions, feedback, etc. Please keep it up through Twitter and Facebook. Keep fighting, my friends.

Caller ID, Immunocompromised Police, Pharmacy Vs Baskin Robbins Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

Alright, so I *may* have been a little triggered this week. Maybe it's just the season/year we're in and all that we're being asked to do. Either way, I wasn't the most positive on this one and, you know what, that's okay. This week I rant about so many things including a new ridiculous OTC product, being the immunocompromised police (if a pt can get a 3rd dose or not) and two dr's with a god complex. We do get a little positive though: It's Fall! and I have a tech that can immunize! All in all, a really fun one you guys... enjoy.

Trial By Fire, Pharmacy-Hours Jealousy, CEO Working In The Pharmacy? Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

Hey friends. Are you STILL completely exhausted? Feeling like there's no end in sight and it's about to get WORSE?? *Sigh* You're not alone, trust me. It's a heavy time right now in our profession, no doubt about it. This week on the show we talk about how this insane season we find ourselves in can really show you if retail is what you truly want to do. Also, I talk WAY too much about fantasy football (I know), ask the question "how do you tend to use your PTO?", and reminisce of the days when we only had to worry about flu shots this time of year. Finally, if your CEO worked a week in your pharmacy, what would happen?

Thank you all so much for continuing to submit your patients of the week, responses, feedback, etc. Keep it up through Facebook and Twitter. No, seriously, I can't do this show without you.
