"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 ๐Ÿ˜’

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.

Don't give any customer your "trash pile". Either take the time to do it right, or throw away the trashpile, or accept that customers feels like people are saying they feel.

... You have to give someone the trash pile. Technicians are not going to throw away thousands of dollars of pills a month because the packaging is "MILDLY" frustrating. Your comment reads like a preachy teenager who has all the answers to every problem.

I don't know why you're trying to tell me how to do my job when a. you've very clearly never done anything remotely adjacent to it and b. Ive said that I don't even do that job anymore.

In order to remedy this "MILDLY" frustrating problem that happens every so often, the entire distribution network of drugs in the US would need to be reworked from the ground up to start dispensing per-patient packages. Which, if you think that's the most pressing problem the US medical industry needs to fix... One, I've got a bridge to sell you, and two, don't make up excuses, do it right, get it changed, become a technician and start throwing away pills and refusing to fill people's scripts with loose blister packs... Be the change you want to see and all that.
