Like, go back to th...Oh, and name names if you can. Like, go back to the pharmacy and see if you can get the name of the manager who checked it: usually the names of staff will be posted on the wall, because pharmacy registrations (or whatever they're called, I forget now) have to be posted clearly. But if not, they should be wearing nametags. And save the bottle if you still have it, and any paperwork you still have: some pharmacies record who filled the prescription and which pharmacist checked/approved it, and also there might be the time/date on it, which would help the pharmacy figure out who did it.<br /><br />And any time anyone says "These mistakes inevitably happen," stick to "I totally understand that. BUT I BROUGHT IT BACK TO BE CHECKED."Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434557277227473365.post-28458664825908363732011-06-25T05:25:55.439-07:002011-06-25T05:25:55.439-07:00Absolutely I would be writing extremely polite and...Absolutely I would be writing extremely polite and extremely STRONG letters, and I would be cc-ing them to the national headquarters of the chain, to the store manager, etc., and I would find out which state organization is in charge of such things and cc them too.<br /><br />I worked as a pharmacy technician for a couple of years, and I can confirm your feelings: inevitably, human beings will make an occasional error---but when you TOOK IT BACK AND ASKED!!!! OMG!!! I'm not sure what to compare this to, but it's like one of the most appalling things that could happen at a pharmacy. I'm trying to think of a teaching equivalent. Something like "finding out a child had been abducted on her way to school, and not reporting it." I mean, VERY SERIOUS.<br /><br />The couple of times a medication was wrong while I worked there (once a dosage problem, once a different medication), the pharmacists pretty much had coronaries for WEEKS over it. One of them actually went into a several-week-long depression, because it is SO SERIOUS SO VERY SERIOUS.<br /><br />So yes. I would bring out big guns for this. I wouldn't SUE, but I would make a huge stink. My theme would be "OMG YOU GUYS, I NOTICED IT AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO BE CHECKED!!"Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434557277227473365.post-7947666932557959652011-06-24T20:41:12.138-07:002011-06-24T20:41:12.138-07:00O.M.G.

I'm so glad you didn't have anything permanently bad happen to you.Mary Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642408904193300541noreply@blogger.com
