Onymnomycin
Got an Rx from a dentist today:

1 qid until finished
#40
0 refills
I love it when prescribers make shit up.

I'd chase it with Anonymno-Cola. The Secretary will disavow all knowledge of my actions.
But, what did he really mean?

Clindamycin 300mg.
This script was out of an EMR, too.

I'm not sure I follow? Why would a dentist write a script for something that doesn't exist?

An excellent question. If you figure it out, let me know.

so the point being the dentist just wrote a script and wasn't thinking – was probably thinking azithromax and oxycontin at the same time or something…
How do you feel about antibiotic subscriptions? I know they are overdone and yet I know very well when I'm getting a bacterial sinus infection and just wish I could get a doc to write me the script once a year (I get them like clockwork when the fall season comes around) without it being a huge deal. I'd have an easier time getting opiates.

Well it was an EMR-generated prescription. Normally you have to manually override something like that, so maybe the dentist has his e-prescribing stuff set up so that it's manually entered without any kind of "this is wrong" prompts.
It was very strange. If I came across this blog entry on the Internet, I would have a hard time believing it, except that it happened to me, and I remember the script as clear as day…
