in the pharmacy i was responsible for calling insurance companies to authorize sale of medicine. they always ask what are the meds prescribed for. so, one day this stunning girl comes in: sweet face, a body to die for, 18 years old. she has a receta from gynecologist for doxycycline. i was on the phone in the back of the pharmacy, she was waiting at the front. i say to one of my workers: ask her what does she have. she responds. he says: what? i can't hear! then she shouts at the top of her lungs: gonorrhea!
we all looked at her with mouths open as farmacia was full of people. it was evident that she had no idea what gonorrhea was. the doctor told her what she was suffering from but nothing else. no info on how did she get infected, how to avoid passing it further, what further health problems it may cause, nothing...
