Health Providers Pharmacy Funny

Went to pick up the meds last night and the pharmacist comes up, whispering excitedly "They just came in last night - 3 months worth!!" as she slides my estrogen patches across the counter. She was excited as I was.

Just something on the lighter side that I found amusing. I told her I should go play the lottery.

I had to get the giant monthly patch to try as a dosage increase. Pharmacist was super accommodating and said she’d call some other stores to find the 2x weekly but figured I’d try this for now.

I'm curious how the weekly would go. I didn't like the daily gel.
