“How do we ensure our patient drops and loses ~80% of his pills and that he slices the absolute fuck out of his fingers in the process?”
They’re locking my mental health goals behind a fidgety Saw trap built from scissors and miserliness.
I’ve had boxes where there were several single pills snipped from their blister packs rattling around in them. These pills in particular are tiny, like you can’t even feel them in your mouth when you take them, but they expect me to be able to finesse one out of a single blister with at least 3 extremely sharp and piercing corners on it 😒
If you’re a pharmacist and you do this, please go ahead and take the pills yourself, you clearly need 'em more than I do, ya sick fuck.
This is a perfectly valid complaint and diminishing it is wild. Imagine if your health was locked behind an infuriating puzzle every day. Ffs have some empathy.
Never said it isn’t a valid complaint, the tone it’s wrapped in clearly depicts an unhealthy mental attitude though
I agree it’s a valid complaint, as in it’s expected to be complained about. It’s not so valid to expect the pharmacy to actually change anything. There are a million and one solutions to their problem. If it’s just the sharp edges, they can clip those off with some rounded nail clippers. If they have trouble getting them out of the pack, there are any number of tools/solutions to get the pill out to make it easier.
I think this post is valid as mildly infuriating, since it’s not that big of a deal. But calling it an infuriating puzzle is pretty wild. Idk what puzzles you are doing
Some mornings I barely have the patience to split my pill in half, if I am motivated enough to even take it. If I had to deal with this crap every morning I would be exasperated too
