Today, I called my doctor from my office. He wanted to call a prescription to my pharmacy, but wanted to know by what method I would prefer my medication. During our conversation, a group of potential clients walked in just as I exclaimed, "I definitely prefer oral." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, I was calling customers to tell them that they had prescriptions waiting to be picked up. It was a long list and every time I reached an answering machine I left our number so they could call us back. When I was finished, the pharmacist told me I been giving out our fax number. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job as a receptionist at a small doctor's office. When the doctor's wife called and asked if he'd stepped out, I blanked the word "Doctor" and instead replaced it with, "Medicine man." FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I arrived early so I could check in with the receptionists about this weird communication mixup that's caused me to miss my last two appointments. Despite what my appointment card said, I arrived to find the office closed. FML
Today, I answered a call I thought was from my friend and opened with, “What do you want, fuck face?” It was actually my dentist confirming my appointment. There was a long pause before she politely repeated my name to ensure they had the right patient. FML
Today, where I work at a pharmacy, we were short staffed and running 4 hours behind. A lady came to drop off a new prescription. When I explained to her the wait time, she called the patient. I heard, "No, they don't look busy." Like, really? FML
Today, my doctor's office called to reschedule. I hate sacrificing work time at all, but I have to have my contraceptive. The appointment had been set back once already due to insurance issues, and having to wait until November means I'm going to run out… so now I sound like a drug addict. FML
Today, I was at my gynecologist's for my checkup and had this sudden urge to poop - but it was my turn, so I just went ahead to meet the doc. The doctor noticed that I wanted to poop and also informed all the orderlies that, "This patient wants to pass stool now." FML
Today, I had to have major oral surgery. Needless to say I am in need of some heavy pain medication. My pharmacist insists that my surgeon never called in my medicine, and my surgeon insists otherwise. This has been going back and forth for hours. FML
Today, I went back home after seeing the doctor, I told my boyfriend my new medicine might cause some mood swings. He immediately grabbed his phone and pretended to take a call, then rushed out. FML
Today, I called a doctor's office for a referral. I was in public, so when she asked me what type of issue I had, I mumbled that I had a vaginal issue. After painstakingly having to repeat this several times, she said she was asking what kind of insurance I have. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I really hate to be the one to make the obligatory terrible pun, but that really sucks.

I don't believe that's true, seeing how every husband has to trick their wife into doing it nowadays.

You could've said, "I prefer oral....method of taking medication." You have to think on your feet!

No fucktard, there are suppositories. Which go up your ass. Which is anal. Go learn something before you speak.

#21 There are acetaminophen tablets or suppositories for fever if you can't keep food down... (and other suppositories) For the schizophrenic patients, you have Risperdal, it can be given in tablet form or via an intramuscular injection (ouch) if you fear your patient is not swallowing. (noncompliance) There are more, but I'm taking so Long to type this, I'm almost sure the FML app won't let this go through if I add another word.

Fail, I took so long to type my last comment, someone beat me to the punch. Oh well...

#30, If I look at the time stamps, it suggests you must have taken longer than 10 minutes to write that. Just a fun fact (:

You could have avoided all confusion by saying "I have no problem swallowing"

You could also try jamming the pills into your ear, as the voices in my head oftentimes suggest, but I've heard (with much difficulty) that it isn't as effective as standard methods of ingestion. What? I can't hear you.

Who doesn't prefer oral??? It's the only way to go! Shocked no one suggested snorting their meds....

#61, Can you repeat that? In English this time? ...Yes, you have to put in mechanics, too.

I prefer taking medications anally, partially due to childhood events. But I won't bore you with the details

That might count as a rhyme if you're Lil B the Based God, but I doubt any real musicians would let that one go into a song.

How else would she of dome it
marinus_fml 20

I would just add '... When it comes to taking medication of any kind..' There, problem solved.

And your situation most definitely blows, OP.

And that is why you should say, " I prefer oral medication."
perdix 31
Was the other choice "taking it up the ass?" I'm sure your preference for oral will be most pleasing to at least some of your potential clients :)

Sure fire way to get those clients: Step one: Make it really obvious to the client you love oral (which you've already done) Step two: Offer said client oral in a very seductive way Step three: Take one for the team Step four: Profit *It may end in a hard slap but if you are offering oral you probably like that anyways ;)

Those are also all the right steps to get your ass fired.
