It was Mrs D. who is a 92 year old lady that came into the pharmacy 3 hours ago to pick up her websters. Her doctor had prescribed her Magmin which had to be added into the webster pack. I added one tablet daily.
Anyway, she's calling to clarify that the tablets were inside coz she can't see them. But get this, she's old and she talks in a veryyyyyy .... sloo....wwwww .... wayyyyyy
The below convo was going at a speed of 1word/5seconds
She: Hello my dear, this is Mrs D. You might know me. I came in earlier with a script from Dr N.
Me: Yes that's right.
She: Now the doctor said that has to be added into the websters so the pharmacist told me to take a seat. You know I'm very old and I can't walk far so I had to take a seat first.
Me: Yes ok.
She: Well to cut the long story short, because i just don't want to bore you with the details... but i only sat down for 5 min and they gave me the websters.
Me: Yes.
She: Well when I got home - you know I can't walk very well, and I'm very old, so I don't come out to the pharmacy that often - I come down every fortnight on the shopping bus to ran errands, but what I wanted to ask is, because I went home and looked at the websters, it looked the same as the ones at home.
Me: I added in the tablets for you.
She: because I can't see them so I was wondering, maybe the pharmacist forgot to put it in? because i can't see them.
Me: Mrs D. I'm the pharmacist that packed your websters and I did put one tablet into your websters in the bedtime slot. Its definitely in there. You probably can't see it coz its white and it looks similar to your other tablets. But i can assure you that they are in there, coz I was the one that personally packed it in for you.
She: Oh thank goodness. Thank you sooo much!! I was worried there because you know I'm old and I can't really get down there so I wanted to double check. but very good that you put it in there.
Me: That's ok. Anything else I can help you with?
She: No that's all. Thank you now.
Me: Ok bye bye then.
She: Bye bye love.
Poor elderly lady. I like her. she's very friendly and nice. but i kinda feel sorry for her because there's really noone that looks after her. never saw her kids (dunno if she has kids) *shrugs*..... but you know how old ppl talk ... the above convo could've been answered after one question: "This is Mrs D. Just wanted to know if you added any Magmin into my websters." I could've answered yes or no straight away. without going through a whole life story...................
