Silly questions from a Pharmacist ,doctor ,dentist,etc.
 

I was at a doctors office today and he electronically sent a prescription to my local pharmacy .

I went to pick up the medicine and was told that it had as not been received . The Pharmacist said she will call the doctors office and said to me:

"Do you know the name of your doctor ? "

Answer:

No, I'm being treated for amnesia. :roll:

The fact is that people today just don't know what they are doing.

Yes
 

Gads, that is not as stupid a question as it may seem to be. I can picture myself answering I forget the Drs. name but he/she is part of such & such doctors group. Going there for the 1st time and not given a next appointment card, I could very easily forget the Drs. name. Lakers you may be too young to understand that.

I suspect the Drs. office faxed it to another same brand drug store down the street. That has happened to me. Or did I forget which drug store I had them fax it too. LLOLL

O F c'er

I visited the Drs today for the 1st time this year and was greeted with 'you are a stranger' :)

We have several doctors in our practice and my regular GP retired almost 2 years ago.

So if someone asks me for the name of my Doctor - I answer I don't know. I just say I belong to xyz practice.

No
 

As it turned out it was sent to the pharmacy I deal with but the Pharmacist messed up .

As far as being too young ,I doubt that very much .In fact you may be younger than me.

I am not that young, but I allways know my Doctor's name. I see the same Doctor each time. I see several specialists but I see specific ones not strangers.

We are the ones who win the bottle of champagne whenever asked on the ship who have been married the longest. Last year was 65. If you think you are older than me, you really are an Old Fart. LLOLL

O F C'er

Just a youngster
 

My wife and I are usually the couple married the longest at parties and occasionally on cruises ,however ,we have a way to go to hit 65 .

Over the past 2 years, I have been hospitalized to receive a heart stent (day after Christmas 2010... Merry Christmas!) and for falling face first in a dead faint. So, a battery of doctors have seen me in both cases and the doctors all run together as to who did what and why. So, yes, I have been to the pharmacist and not known who a certain doctor is.

I'm sorry Dr. Who. (Groan, sorry)

It really isn't a "silly" question. Many people do not have a regular physician. They go to whatever, "Minute Clinic" or HMO group they belong to and rarely see the same doctor. They just take whoever is available.

It's a sign of the times.

Take care,
