Party Like Your Grandma!

So today was an excellent day to work.
1. First weekend of the month
2. Beginning of the cold season
3. Allergies
4. Herpes.

Yes. Herpes. Apparently October is the 'spread your warts to your lovers' month. Today we had an outstanding number of scripts for herpes related creams/gels and pills. The greatest (and sickest) one came in a little after 12 noon. A young man comes in with a 2 scripts, one for an older man and one for an older woman. The man was asked for identification and I realized he was not related to either of these patients, so I asked about his affiliation to the couple who is getting their herpes gel and valtrex prescription filled. He apparently is an associate of a local Nursing Community and he was telling me how there is a 'herpes outbreak' amongst the residents.

I guess everyone wants to stay warm as the weather is getting cooler. Party on grandma and grandpa.


Alright everyone, stay safe from the contagious flu and herpes!
