I can't take that.... I'm allergic.

While reviewing a new patient's profile I came across their allergy information and it made me laugh. (We write down their medication allergy and the reaction they had to it.)

Allergy:1. Codeine - "Rip my skin off and throw it out the window"2. Prozac: "I want to dissect things, like tear into small animals"

A little morbid, but, hey, whatever gets the point across. :D

Special Instructions

So, I received a medication order for a patient at the hospital and under a "Special Instructions" section it read the following:

Special instructions:
 please see how she responds to this and let us know so we can adjust the dose. we want to make her less spastic.

A day in the life of a pharmacist. Love it.
