You know it's going to be one of *those* Mondays...

... when you drive into work and see a fire truck and an ambulance sitting outside the store entrance.

So I walk in to start my 10-6 shift, and the pharmacy staff sees me and said, "You missed all the action."

Apparently (and I'm still not 100% clear how this was discovered) a patient picked up his prescription for Hydrocodone and downed the entire bottle in the store. Luckily it was just 12 of the 5/500 tablets, but still I'm guessing his liver wasn't happy with the huge load of acetaminophen it had to try to handle at one.

And sure enough, it was a Monday full of faxes, C-IIs, insurance updates, rejections, and questioned copays.

Any other good Monday stories out there?
