Near the end of March I got my first ever sinus infection. It was kinda out of the blue for me because I don't have allergies and I didn't have a cold. In fact, I really had no nasal congestion and everything started with a sore throat. I take my temperature daily so I knew as soon as my temperature went up that I was actually sick.
Unfortunately, I got the sore throat Thursday evening, registered a fever Friday morning and still had to work Friday and Saturday. Not only are they the busiest days of my work week, I was training a new girl. After two VERY long 9-10 hour days at work I woke up Sunday morning and still had a fever. Thankfully, there's an urgent care down the street from our apartment that is open on Sundays so we headed over to get my throat checked out. Everyone and their sick child was there but waiting gave me time to snap a picture of this:
Yep, it's a vending-type machine for your prescription medication! I spent a lot of time thinking about how this would work. How foolproof is this? What kind of variety do they stock in this? Do you have to input all of your insurance information? Does it print drug info and warn you about drug interactions? And then I thought about
this ad campaign and started giggling internally thinking about the pharmacist shoved into a little cubicle filling prescriptions. Unfortunately, we didn't think to try it out with my prescription so I didn't get a chance to put him/her to work.
Oh, yeah, and I did end up getting better after a couple days of rest and all of my medicine.

HAHAHAHA that add campaign cracked me up! I'm glad you feel better :) Next time you need a prescription you have to use the vending machine and tell me how it goes... I'm very curious about it.
