I have been reading and posting on The Angry Pharmacist now for about a week (ish). It's made up of mostly pharmacists (or so they say) and chronic pain sufferers (to be fair, or so they say also)....
Now, some of these 'pharmacists' come across as the most mean, vile, uptight and unsavory people on this earth. Of course some of them are most likely jaded by dealing with people NOT in pain but just looking for a high from narcotics. But they treat the people who aren't looking for that, a high, but are actually in pain and in need of help, most of them are talked to like they're shit. Which is terrible coming from people who are supposed to be helpers/healers. It's disheartening really.
What I have been wondering is, if they have this attitude, why are they in a job where they work with *OH MY GOD* PEOPLE on a daily basis?
I want to know some of YOUR experiences with these mad as hell pharmacists and I want to know some of your conditions and how/if you've been looked down on or been treated like shit because of the meds you require just to live some sort of a decent life.
I am slowly coming to the conclusion that the ones I've read so far had rather someone in REAL pain go out and score smack than have to be bothered with filling a prescription for them or heaven forbid having to consult with them.
I know there are some good ones out there, I have a good one as it goes, but these jokers really take the cake so far.
I emailed the link to the blog i've been reading to MY own pharmacist and to say he was embarrassed reading it would be an understatement, he also commented that if someone were to read a story and think 'shit that happened to me!' and dug deep enough and it WAS them, they would be in for a hell of a lot of bother.
What I want to know then is what is wrong with these people and what gives them the right to treat human beings suffering like shit?
Have you been on the recieving end of this sort of treatment?
What's your ailment and how do you cope/treat it?

Trust me lady, if we weren't pharmacists, we wouldn't know s*h*i*t enough to write these blogs. We cannot make this stuff up and we know chronic pain sufferers from the seekers. So quit getting your tail in a knot. Your pharmacist doesn't give you a hard time does he/she? Well, we dont give our legit customers crap either. But I bet you dont drop your meds down the sink, or get your purse stolen every month, or have them pilfered from your car each month, or have some relative die every other month to get an early refill to attend their funeral either. We are griping out the audacities we see in the store, the blatant lies and deception we endure by trash seeking their next fix. YOU aren't one of them. Start doing any of the above mentioned things and THEN you might get a different kind of treatment.
