Case scenario
Fighting her way down aisles clogged with boxes, MP made it to the 4
Case scenario
At this point a stressed-out pharmacist walked over to the counter. 5
Without calling the clerk by name, the pharmacist said he was very
busy, only worked in this store once a month, was having problems
with the insurance company, and needed to talk to the doctor.
Further, the pharmacist informed MP that interrupting him by
asking questions would only add to the wait.
Finally, 30 minutes later a new technician, not the one who had
greeted her, came to the counter with her prescriptions. MP never
saw the pharmacist again but remembers signing some book.
Case scenario
Of the six prescriptions she presented, four were filled and 6
two were not filled, one because, the pharmacy was out of the
medication and the other because of delays in the doctor
callback. Of the four prescriptions filled, two of the names on
the prescription bottles did not match the list of names given
her by the doctor.
MP left the pharmacy considering the discrepancy in the experience
at this pharmacy portrayed on the television and the reality of
actually being there.
