This one made me laugh... I attended the pharmacy as usual.
I have no doubt that I'm quite memorable - probably one of the youngest, if not THE youngest, warfarin case at the pharmacy. I'm always greeted with a friendly smile.
As usual I said that i'd forgotten my warfarin book, the easiest lie to avoid showing all my test results. She then started the test and asked me how I was getting on. I said that things had been stable and it's all fine. The test was in range and fine, and she is now under the impression that I'm a stable patient and the dose is spot on. She has no idea that i'm constantly testing and altering my dose to keep it that way!
Then, the bit that made me laugh - she said "I think you've calmed down on the testing now and can see how stable warfarin is if you just leave it alone and don't react too fast to problems."
What a load of nonsense. However, I'm sure it's just what she's been taught - not her fault.
