A DIFFERENT MEDICINE by Linda Ferris
A patient called into the office one day and asked me to let the doctor know that the medication he gave her just didn't relieve her constipation. So after finding the patients chart and reading where the doctor had given her a prescription for one suppository, for her complaint of constipation, I gave the chart and her message to the doctor.
"You can call in a prescription for one more suppository and if it doesn't work this time, she''ll have to come in to see me" the doctor instructed.
After writing down his orders in her chart, I went back to the patient waiting on hold and gave her the doctor' message.
"Ooookay," she said reluctantly, "but could you ask him if he could give me a different medicine this time? I really didn't like swallowing that greasy pill."
