I don't have to take your shit.....

Well, actually, you do.  And you know why?

Because I had to go through six years of advanced schooling and pass a broad based knowledge test.  And that training implies that I have specialized knowledge regarding the appropriate administration of medication.  I am therefore qualified to assess the appropriateness of your treatment and whether or not that treatment is helping or harming you.

I am one more cog in the healthcare system, a check and balance that hopefully prevents you from harming yourself, despite your knowing what you need.

If you were one of the many people who I've managed to help....who have been taking medication that they didn't need, or in dosages that were harmful, you'd be grateful that I'm nosy and bossy and I take my job seriously.  But you aren't because you are an entitled bitch.

And guess what?  If people didn't have a history or the potential didn't exist for them to harm themselves with this medication, it wouldn't require a prescription.

Let's be honest here.  The potential exists for you to harm yourself with this and if you do, are you going to shrug your shoulders and say, "I thought I  knew what I was doing....oh well."  Or, are your children going to say, "Mom always did think she knew everything...."  Wait....I have to stop laughing.  Let's see...no and no.

You (if you're still alive) and your children are going to look for someone to sue....Your doctor for giving you a gagillion refills and me for not warning you about the dangers of abusing this prescription medication.  Your lawyer will argue that you didn't even finish college so how could you possibly know more than me, a doctor of pharmacy.  Your children will cry, you will stare at me ruefully....and you'll get whatever the student loan people don't.  I'll live in a cardboard box and collect tin cans....

So yea, shut your yap and use your medicine appropriately.  Or take your script somewhere else and leave me out of it.


That's what I'd say if you weren't such a bitch.  And I'm not filling it.  Sue me.
