At Nunally Drug Store on Saturday, a man calls the pharmacy
to ask an important question. The technician furthest away from the phone
answers in a slightly flustered voice, trying her best to keep a professional
tone. The gentleman, known as Doug, asks if he may fill his prescription for
Xanax twelve days early and explains that it has been stolen. The technician
replies that in order for a controlled substance to be filled early, the patient
must acquire a new prescription from his doctor. He states that he does not
have a new prescription, but he does have a police report. When the technician
repeats her previous statement, the patient once again explains his situation,
this time with colorful embellishments. It has something to do with a lock box
in the trunk of his car, and someone stealing it at 3 o’clock in the morning.
“The
pharmacist will assist you in a moment,” she assures with a smile. The phone
clicks as she promptly places him on hold.
