Suddenly Anti-Antibiotic
CANADA, MONTREAL, PHARMACY, QUEBEC | HEALTHY | OCTOBER 26, 2017
Customer: “Hi, I’d like to fill this prescription, please.”
Me: “Very well, I’ll need your birthdate.”
Customer: “[Birthdate]. Hurry up, please.”
Me: “Any known allergies?”
Customer: “What? No! Look, it’s not my first time taking these pills. Just give it to me.”
Me: *taken aback* “Okay, sir, you may go in the waiting room.”
(A few minutes later the pharmacist explains the treatment to the customer.)
Pharmacist: “So, those pills are penicillin combined with another antibiotic—”
Customer: “Penicillin? What? I can’t take this! I’m deathly allergic to penicillin!”
