Oh my, oh my. Some days I love my job. At my hospital, all the pharmacists have to work one day every two weeks in our outpatient pharmacy. Most of us hate it but I love it. You can just shoot the breeze with people and most everyone is pretty cool. I like helping people.

To the point... A lady called today and had a question. She wouldn't talk to the technician so I got on the phone. I had a hard time getting her to actually ask her question because she was embarrassed. Told her that I've heard just about everything so nothing embarrasses me anymore. She proceeds with her question. "What'll happen if someone eats Astroglide?" I was a little taken aback and for a moment thought it was a prank call. Finally told myself that she was too shy for it to be a prank. Looked up info on Astroglide and it's not harmful. Decided to have a little fun with her and said "well, it's mostly just water and glycerin... hot harmful but I wouldn't go and take a swig!"

LOL! She actually started laughing and told me I was the coolest pharmacist she'd ever dealt with! Made my day...

That's a really funny story! Doesn't that just have ingredients on the bottle? Haha. Maybe she threw her box away. And I agree - I'd be tickled if my pharmacist had responses like that, too.

That was very cool of you. Well done. People get really embarrassed by things like that and it helps when you have someone who can put you at ease.

On another note, who would want to eat it? I mean, I am sure that she just meant what happens if you accidentally swallow it. It's sweet but I wouldn't make a habit of ingesting it. Ok. That's all. LOL

Hey... it probably goes down smooth! :p

My bf has wanted to introduce me as Dr. Girlfriend for some time now as he's a big fan of The Venture Brothers. When I came across your handle yesterday I just had to mention it to him! He laughed and said "awesome". He is, of course, also a fan of your avatar.

It's an awesome show. My husband wanted us to either go as Henchman 21 and Dr_Girlfriend or Brock Samson and Molotov Cocktease for Halloween. Sad to say neither of us has the body for that.

But to really geek out on it, I should have him introduce me as Dr/Mrs. The Monarch.
