Doctor Grumpy in the House: Dear CVS Caremark,

Thursday, December 10, 2009

Dear CVS Caremark,

If your specialty pharmacy mail-order branch is handling my patients' potentially dangerous injectable drugs, it would give me (not to mention them) A LOT more confidence if you knew how to spell your own job title.

Yerz trooly,

Dokter Grumpy.

I'm still wondering if this is legal maybe we can find spelling errors in their documents so they we can help our patients have more options.; December 11, 2009 at 11:13 PM

Anon said...: Heh, couple of weeks ago after a rather brutal CalcII exam I went through my mail and found a semi-transparent envelope from the University of Phoenix.

Brain barely functioning when asked where it was from I replied "The University of Phig-nix"

Now, 'tis a running gag, to me, if no one else.; June 8, 2010 at 11:46 AM
