THE OLE' APOTHE-BLOG IS A YEARLING TODAY: OH, DEAR!
So, I joined the vast blogosphere on June 28, 2007, one year ago today. This has certainly been fun. I'm going to delete the whole thing right now--NOT. Thank you very much, everyone who has commented. This has been, and shall continue to be, a source of enormous pride, release, and insight for me. I wish I had this pharmacy blog, and the other pharmacy blogs I have read, as reference works when I was starting out; I could have used their collective wisdom, and, who knows, what I have read here might have redirected my career a long time ago.
To the likes of The Angry Pharmacist, The Angriest Pharmacist, Pharmacy Chick, Pharmacy Mike, The Drug Nazi, and the late, great Pharmacy God, I say, thank you for keeping me well informed of the nature of community pharmacy practice in the 21st century, because I left it long before the 20th century ended, and thanks to you, I am able to list the following as non-negotiable conditions for my return:
1) $100 hourly wage
2) daily, uninterrupted, external (i.e., Elvis gets to leave the building) 1-hour meal break
3) third-party ombudsman pharmacy technicians
4) personal receipt of all MTM reimbursement I file for
5) immunity from frivolous customer complaints
6) limit drive-thru transactions to prescription-related products only
7) in-pharmacy toilet facilities
Give me another year, and I'll probably add to the list. And, even with these, you'll have a long
wait until I make up my mind.
On to year two!
