Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

BUT IT ITCHES SO. Oh well, good chance to practice radical acceptance. For the next two to three weeks.

Aims good luck whatever you decide to do.
Teppy, that is unacceptable. Definitely complain.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I suppose it would be wrong to close your eyes and spray Chloraceptic on your face? Or rub Anbesol on it?

Admittedly, in the past when I've called for a refill, sometimes I would tell them the generic name, when it was in the record under the brand name. But that, to me, is a failure of their software -- both names should be in there.
No, that's a failure to train personnel working in a medical environment. Either the receptionist should recognize generic (chemical) names when she hears them, or she should immediately be transferring you to a nurse or someone else who does.

Can I just say, eating oatmeal makes my throat sting. Bother. Bother. Bother. I think I should give the cats their snack, and then go back to bed.

It's happened with every person, not just this one. I really think they have crappy software. It shouldn't be that hard to program it so that if they type in "Tylenol," it also shows "acetaminophen." Because I'll bet most people call for refills and just read what the label on the bottle says, and often it's generic, since that's what pharmacies/insurance do. But if the doctor wrote the prescription as "Tylenol," apparently that's what goes in the record. So if I asked for a refill of "acetaminophen," they'd scan the record and tell me it's not in there.
Either the receptionist should recognize generic (chemical) names when she hears them, or she should immediately be transferring you to a nurse or someone else who does.
Honestly, I don't expect them to know generic and brand names for all the possible drugs that all the patients in the practice are prescribed. That's a crapload -- in the hundreds, if not thousands. That's too much to just automatically know. But that's why software that DOES know is a good idea.
