Scarlet.....

A shifty looking fella came in to pick up his prescription yesterday.

"It's for Viagra," he mouthed at me. "I can't....you know....it's tricky. And the wife insisted...it's unfortunate.... very embarrassing..."

To be honest, once a script is dispensed and checked, I'm not interested in what it's for, and nor do I need explanations. The customer though, was getting redder and redder, so I quickly started looking for his medication, hoping he wouldn't give me any more details.

"It's only wee," he suddenly announced. "Difficult to find at times."

That was way too much information! I couldn't bear my/his embarrassment any longer, so decided to try cheering him up in an almost doctorly fashion, with words of medical wisdom.

"Honestly," I said "you really shouldn't worry about your size. It's what you do with it that counts; quality over quantity and all that, hahahaha!"

I think I may have been laughing maniacally.......until I suddenly realised he was talking about his prescription bag, and nothing else.....



If anyone would like to employ an idiotic, almost soon to be sacked doctor, please get in touch......
