I’m actually writing this blog from the compounding bench at my rotation site – so I’m perusing the more interesting flavor Rx vials. Here’s the highlights:
Coffee – who wants their drugs to taste like coffee? I’m not sure I like my coffee tasting like coffee, but I need the caffeine so I drink it anyway. Note: this vial is still sealed
Chocolate Silk Pie – who the hell would ask for this? The only way they’d know this one even existed is if you showed them the entire line of vials, in which case they’d probably pick something else anyway. Note: this vial *isn’t* sealed – wtf?
Grape/Concord Grape/Grape Creamsicle – For the grape connoisseur, I suppose.
Pina Colada – This is the best one ever and I reeeeeeally want to add it to random compounds for no reason. Well, I guess the reason would be to hear the phrase “Why does my ass cream smell like pina coladas?”, but you get the picture right?
Vitamin/Iron Masking Agent – Who the hell would ask for…ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I get it.
Also, we have fun colors to add to compounds. While red hemorrhoid ointment would be a fantastic idea, I sort of get why that could fail me. I guess its cool to look at all of the ingredients back here and aspire for my preceptor to find me passed out over my compounding bench with an empty bottle of “Flavored beef liquid” beside me and brown ooze dribbling out of the corner of my mouth.
Looking ahead to the week 3 CRAPPE assignments, I can only see that these are getting sillier and sillier as we go along. My true temptation is to fabricate an unbelievable tale for the “professionalism” discussion, and then submit that. An example would be labeling the testosterone cream “Nathan’s Famous Homerun Cream”. Okay, seriously though – one act of unprofessionalism for a four week period is a bar so low that I could only trip over it if I didn’t show up to my CRAPPE at all, in fact I’m pretty sure I hold the record on these shits. My current frontrunner for the error in professionalism is “so I started this *other* blog…”
Here’s your awesome content:
Hey! I dont get the vitamin and iron masking agent joke. explain it to me, Hammy!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I knew that would happen when I wrote it. Its a joke depending on how you take it in that no one would ever actually *request* that, and I was classifying it as an actual flavor like it belonged with grape, orange, strawberry, etc.
