Scenes from the pharmacy -- The Story of Oh

Me: I'm here to pick up a prescription for Mr. Badger.

Pharmacist: Oh.

[Pause]

Pharmacist: [Reading label on pill bottle] Oh, we didn't fill the entire prescription. Your insurance company says you have reached the limit on your prescription benefit.

Me: Oh!

Pharmacist: You would've had to have paid for the prescription out-of-pocket, which would've been over $400, so we've only given you a few pills.

Me: Oh.

[Pause]

Me: This is a new prescription. The doctor has just doubled Mr. Badger's morphine dose. He really needs the medication, I think.

Pharmacist: Oh, we were just trying to save you some money.

Me: Oh.

[Pause]

Me: So, is this the part where I thank you?

Pharmacist: No, this is the part where you pay for the pills.

Me: Oh.
