When I had just graduated from pharmacy school , I decided to try my hand at retail pharmacy in a small community pharmacy in the Glen Burnie area. On my first day, I received a prescription for a patient who had just had surgery. The prescription was for a controlled medication called Percocet, a medication that contained a heavy duty narcotic along with acetaminophen (Tylenol). When I looked at the prescription, I immediately noticed that the dose prescribed would far exceed the daily recommended dose of acetaminophen.  In fact, the dose provided could result in liver damage and possibly liver failure. I proceeded to call the doctor’s office and explained the situation to the receptionist who proceeded to transfer me to the doctor. The doctor picked up on a speaker phone and I proceeded to explain the situation with the acetaminophen. The doctor, seemingly annoyed, cut me off and told me that he is currently in surgery and didn’t think that the issue was worth his attention. He told me to change the prescription as I saw fit and hung up the phone.
