Every few months I need to attend a pharmacy to grab a medication. A lot of people who take this medication are ex substance users.

I have a great relationship with the owner, and she often is quite flexible and friendly with me. At times I've had to call her mobile to get her to explain something to the pharmacist whose serving me because they've made a mistake.

Generally their treatment of people such as myself is quite poor.

The pharmacists she employs absolutely hate my guts. I think they're annoyed that someone who they consider scum is doing quite well. And to be honest, I play it up when I'm there lol

I love every minute of it.

If you want to play the superficial status game, then I'm going to rub it in your fucking face lol

I just don't understand, aren't they supposed to be people who want to help others?

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (8 children)

Sure. Normal people. Not people like myself and others like me.

All healthcare is like this for us.

The ones who try to belittle me, are the ones I make sure understand where exactly they sit in societies bullshit superficial capitalistic ladder.

Nurses and pharmacists. It's always those 2.

Am Nurse, can confirm that some nurses have forgotten that they are not superior beings.
