We had a massive thunderstorm here in Rhode Island this morning. I may or may not have spent the hour between 6am and 7am with a terrified cat under the covers, trying unsuccessfully to insert herself into my navel. But anyway...
Providence is up and running but our neighboring city of Warwick is still dark, with power not expected to return until tomorrow. So one of our most special patients calls in today to see if her doctor called in her refill. When told he hasn't, she flips. The fuck. Out.
"Why? WHY NOT?!?! I leave for vacation tomorrow! They told me it would be done today! Did you call?!?!?!?!? Check again! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! GET ME THE PHARMACIST!"
The pharmacist is gotten.
PIC: "Hellooo?"
Psycho Bitch: "They're saying' my meds aren't ready! The doctor ALWAYS calls them in right away! Did you even send me the request because you SAID you would and I'm LEAVING tomorrow!!!"
PIC: "Doctor So-and-So works out of Warwick, right? They don't have power. They CAN'T call it in, nor can they fax it, or email it. Remember that storm this morning?"
PB: ".......................................oh."
PIC: "And by the way, my techs don't lie."
PB: "Well...I was just...checking."
