You know how you get those patients who ask you for antibiotics because they say they want to keep it just for emergency, and if they feel unwell, they get to pop one of those magic little pills in and Ta-Da! They are well again.

Usually I will roll my eyes and say No, and then they give you a WTF, this pharmacist don't know anything look.

My mom did that to me today. Well not the last part. She asked me for some antibiotics to give to my dog. To which I got really irritated and gave a resounding NO, I'm not going to give antibiotics just so you can give him when he looks unwell. If he looks sick, send him to a vet, I'll pay for it.

And she gave that laugh of hers which means she is still gonna do it anyway. I am going to go through the medicine cabinet when i get home and throw away all the antibiotics that I see.

This is annoying I tell you.
