ReTell Pharmacy

Happy March Madness everyone! Yep, it's officially a thing. Well... it's always been a thing, but now it's a pharmacy thing. No going back now. Things are still nuts, as usual, which is why this regrettably a shorter episode (such a crazy week) but it's a FUN one nevertheless! We get into my addicition with Wordle, the urge to shut down to rude patients, and the possibility of an annual covid shot (what??? I know...) We end it with a brief convo on when the best time of the day to call a pt is and why they shouldn't answer when they're busy. Enjoy!  - M

Better late than never, right? Right. I definitely got this show out late but it's been one of THOSE weeks... you guys get it. Either way, it's a good one! We've got all the upcoming significant things about March as well as an awesome Tech Of The Week. I spend waaay too much time talking about "Call-In-Sick Guilt" (bc I had to call in sick, but whatever, it's a real thing) and I'm fairly sure I'm contractually obligated to talk about covid updates on each show so that happens. We end it with more stories that make me look like an idiot and a new (unofficial) rule that patients have to follow. Enjoy! 

Once again, I can't thank all of you ReTellers enough for your continued love and support. Let me know what YOU want to talk about or vent about or whatever... through Twitter and Facebook. I want to hear from you!

ReTellers! We got ourselves a fun one this week that you don't want to miss. We get into how working in retail can give you WAY to easy access to all the junk food (and the time to eat the WHOLE bag) as well as an incredible Dr Of The Week! Oh and I completely vent about our store getting Paxlovid/Molnupiravir. We end it all with that funny thing that happens when a first-dose vaccine pt feels the need to explain why they haven't been vaccinated this entire time. Enjoy!

OMG what a week, y'all. For those who listen the day this drops, my apologies bc this episode is LATE lol. But it's sooo worth it as we get into the last installment of "In The Trenches" and hear from a pharmacist who was in those very trenches, but crawled OUT. I also cover a little covid stuff and talk probably too much at the top of the show (as usual). Enjoy!

Happy February friends. We got ourselves a fun one this week. We get into how patients can really cross the line sometimes (this one is brought to you by a patient interaction with our intern). Following this are a few responses, a great Tech... *ahem* Staff... Of The Week, and, of course, a little covid vaccine news. Saving the best for last, we get into Part 3 of "In The Trenches" where I chat with super-tech Julisa! You don't want to miss this one. Enjoy, friends.

I almost did it. I almost made it through an entire episode without my blood pressure and heart rate soaring through the roof. But, alas, we all work retail pharmacy and we're sharing stories so the frustration is bound to happen. Enough with the downer stuff, I'm SO stoked for this week and jumping into part 2 of "In The Trenches" with my boy John. He's an intern and gives us an idea of what it's like In The Trenches while still having school as a top priority. Of course I have to check in with you guys at the top of the show so we get into my potential jinx for covid shots, the omicron vaccine gaining traction, and another pediatric vaccine war story... and so much more. Enjoy, friends.

Guys. I can't tell you how excited I am to begin the "In The Trenches" series where I get to shut up and hear from YOU.

But first, I vent (of course) about how frustrating it can be for prescribers to e-scribe Paxlovid, Molnupiravir, etc without first calling to ask if you have it in stock. We also bring up the news that we might be giving out N95 masks to patients from the government (yay?). And, finally, we begin "In The Trenches" series by talking with fellow pharmacist Sam Sciotti about work before covid vs during covid. We also touch on vaccine appointment strategies at his pharmacy and end it with not one, but TWO patients of the week from Sam himself. It was an honor to talk with a fellow colleague who is with us every day in the trenches. Enjoy! 

Thank you all once again for your support! Continue to reach out to me through Twitter and Facebook and let me know what YOU want to talk about. If it's happening in your pharmacy, I want to hear about it!

This week on the podcast, I'm in a better headspace and we get into SO much including: the snow days in Nashville (basically a vent session), the expectation of giving 200% everyday at work, and more news on this Omicron Variant-specific vaccine. We end with a hilarious patient of the week and that feeling when you're in the middle of a million things and a patient interrupts your tasks to ask a simple OTC question. Remember friends, you're not alone.

Yikes. Not gonna lie, I was a bit on the easily-triggered side this week. I just left work right before recording... you get it. Still, such a great time hanging with you all, as usual! Even though it's a shorter show, we jump into quite a bit including: At-Home Covid Tests... We're Out... Please stop asking. Also, a positive pediatric patient, a few vaccine updates, and that thing patients do when they ask if you have a medication they've seen on a tv commercial but they have NO CLUE what is or even what it's used for. You feel any of that? Yeah, you're not alone my friends. Enjoy.

I can't believe it's the last show of 2021. Let's end the year with a bang, shall we? On the show this week: a sappy thank you from me, prescribers who write "2021" instead of "2022" on prescriptions, and patients who are told rules, laws, etc and try to negotiate around them. Finally, because of the new year, we are all going to face challenges with patients and their insurance... let's talk about a few and maybe some "solutions". Happy New Year, ReTellers!
