Cellphone Use. It got so bad at my pharmacy, we posted signs prohibiting it.
Rx Pics. Patients will show us a product image on their phone and ask where they can find it, but it requires a prescription.
Dr. Google. Enough said.
E-Scripted Narcotics. Physicians send the e-scripts early, so we have to schedule them. No matter how careful we are, something always gets misplaced. And, ironically, they create a lot of paper!
