The way my fuck-ass pharmacist makes up the remaining pills in my bastarding prescription (lemmy.world)

"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.

Why doesn't the customer just take the couple of minutes at the beginning of the month to dispense the blister packs into a daily pill box organizer?

Or just take a pair of scissors and round off the edges?

Just saying the problem is as easily or more easily solved by the customer as it is by the tech.

Certainly no medication should just be thrown out because the packaging is inconvenient. Making the techs take more time just means making the meds more expensive than they already are.

Obviously the real answer is to overhaul the whole system, but we live under an oligarchy here. Individual people have no power past barely the local level.
