Damn it! Summer's almost over... it went by pretty quick. Maybe its because I've been working my ass off at Vons Pharmacy. The internship is going pretty good considering I have cool pharmacists and techs to help me out =). The pharmacy manager is hella laid back and I mean hella laid back. The other staff pharmacist is very nice although abit stricter. The techs are cool too especially the main tech I work with. She's so nice and very patient with my questions and sometimes my incompetent moments =P. The other tech is fun to work with because he always jokes around alot. Not a dull moment when he's around.

Working at my internship literally slapped me in the face giving me the realization that I don't know that much about being a pharmacist. Also, working at the internship made me realize that retail pharmacy isn't really my cup of tea. I mean...retail pharmacy is heavy on the customer service and retail side of pharmacy rather than the clinical side of pharmacy. Dealing with the customers can be at times very, very, very annoying. Two weeks ago I believe, I got yelled at for something that wasn't my fault. This patient was arguing that the pills we gave her isn't the right strength. She said "this isn't vicodin" (referring to the strength). I tried to assure her that it was and she wouldn't believe me. I mean come on! I know about drugs more than her and plus she's going against the pharmacist's judgment. There was another time when I was ringing up a patient's medication at the cashier. When I told him the total price, he retorted back at me saying it was supposed to be some other price and added the word dummy to the end of his statement. He straight out called me a dummy! >.< I was so pissed at the guy but luckily the pharmacist got my back and explained the increase in his co-pay. After all that and realizing he was wrong, I didn't apologize for calling me that. What an ass...
