Visiting a pharmacy to buy a product sitting on a shelf, pre-packaged in a shiny box.

I dunno what the experience is like in your part of the universe, but down here it goes like this:

1) Walk up to counter and hand prescription to the Make-Up Princess.  Answer 17 questions.  Be told "it'll be around 10 minutes".

2) Wait... whilst M-U P hands your piece of paper to the White Coat Overlords on the lofty elevated platform at rear.

3) Wait some more (But why??  Are the WCOs gonna carefully and scientifically prepare your medication with mortar and pestle?  No.  They're gonna reach for a pre-packaged shiny box).

4) Eventually have your name called at a different counter by a different M-U P.... be handed the pre-packaged product and a register docket.  Answer "Yes" to the question "Have you used this medication before?" and yet still receive instructions on how to consume the contents of pre-packaged shiny box.

5) Proceed to a third counter in order to empty the contents of your wallet before having the the pre-packaged shiny box returned to you having now been placed in a paper bag, carefully sealed with tape which you now immediately open in order to check that its as it should be.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Spoke to my sister today.  She told me about a patients wife that was complaining Big Time about this that and the other.  Real pricks both of them.

Turns out he tested positive for C Diff and Mersa........two potentially deadly, extremely infectious diseases.  He just returned from a flight to Europe and travels extensively.  Sis asked him directly if he realized he has active Cdif.  His response, "So, I got it from someone".
