What’s the best thing about the NHS? Which medication smells like beer? What if the Fresh Prince was a pharmacist? If the third Die Hard movie had been called ‘Die Hard with a Viagra’, would the plot have been different? This book has the answers!
We are in the middle of a ‘Great Pharmacy Depression’. People need cheering up. I have the answer. ‘Pills, Thrills and Methadone Spills Adventures of a Community Pharmacist’ is a collection of the best blogs, tweets and anecdotes about the wonderful world of pharmacy.
“If the shutter is three quarters down, then we are shut and not just vertically challenged”...
“Gave me huge insight into the ‘real’ world of community pharmacy – I didn’t realise just how much pharmacists deal with on a day to day basis, so for me this was very informative, but in a reallyclever, and massively funny way!” Lucy Pitt, Marketing Manager, The Pharmacy Show
“As well as being brilliantly funny, this book is a refreshingly honest view of the world of pharmacy. From student pharmacists to the fully-qualified, every chapter provides a story that the reader can relate to and enjoy.” Georgia Salter, Pharmacy Student
“A well observed reflection of life in pharmacy with very funny reflections” Catherine Duggan, Royal Pharmaceutical Society
"It is always fun to be reminded that pharmacists' perils and fun at the workplace are similar irrespective of which country we practise in!" Selina Hui-Hoong Wee , Pharmacist, Malaysia
“A great entertaining and amusing read" Mike Holden, Chief Executive, National Pharmacy Asociation

@mrdispenser is a pharmacist from the UK who who brings modern media (via Twitter) and the extraordinary pharmacy experiences we have with our patients & customers together into a great short read. For the common folk these experiences may be unique and unheard of, but for us who work in the pharmacy we have all encountered the same or similar situations. The Tweets are entertaining and downright hilarious, I LMAO!!Worth the money!!
My only dislike was that I did not know the writer was from the UK. No big deal, I had to google or wiki some drug names and UK references that were different from the United States.
Thank you,

Pills Thrills and Methadone Spills The Adventures of a Community Pharmacist edition by Mr Dispenser Mr Dispenser Jonathan Mason Professional Technical eBooks Reviews
It was sometime during the course of last year that I became aware of a blog being written by Mr Dispenser. Over the course of a few weeks it became apparent that Mr Dispenser has like many of his pharmacy colleagues a sense of humour and can laugh with his colleagues over the day to day life of our professional existence.
It was therefore almost a natural progression that Mr Dispenser made the move to record some of the comments left on his blog, Face Book page and tweeter account. He then called for more, and collated them into the book which has the wonderful title of Pills, Thrills and Methadone Spills.
My preview copy arrived before Christmas, just in time for me to while away a few hours, exhausted on the settee as I delved into the pages.
Laid out into a series of chapters, Mr Dispenser has recorded what, is regular life to us in the trade, with a humour and smile that is refreshing in modern pharmacy.
The medications that patients often mispronounce, the tablets that have a smell, lovely or otherwise, the thrill of a hot cup of tea, comments from patients, the ones that we have all heard, "it's only a tube......", the sudden influx of medications that have been on maker's delay for months.
As I read the book I could recall moments of patients mispronouncing drug names. The odd requests we are presented with. Patient's advising they do not taking any medication, apart from the heart tablet in the morning conversations. The patient who advises they have run out of a little white tablet. The patients who have bought a smile to our face with their humour, conversation or a packet of biscuits, the ones that you hope you won't see because you have to shout because they are deaf and you have a sore throat!
It seemed ironic that as Mr Dispenser called for submissions and inclusions into his book, I was too busy, working in the profession to contribute much, although I did note a reference to a comment I made on the blog being included, which was wonderful! I do hope that there will be another book as I have a few bits to contribute.
If you have left the profession read this book it will take your mind back to the world of pharmacy, the humour, smiles and the frustrations.
For me, this was a catalyst for a trip down memory lane. The recollection of when I spilt a new pot of Temazepam 10mg capsules all over the dispensary, in the days when they were capsules and recalling the day I absorbed Heminevrin Syrup after a spillage, I slept for 17 hours!
I loved this book, it made me smile, and remember the many, many people both colleagues and some patients, the prescriber's, pre-reg's students, locums and trainees. It reminded me of times when pharmacy was pharmacy and not the script factory we have become. It enabled me to recall the journey the profession has been on over the last 25 years and all the things I had forgotten about.
'Pills, Thrills and Methadone Spills' will be out on on January 14th - UK & USA

Not very good at all
If you aren't from the UK, some of the references are hard to understand. That should be a disclaimer.
It is well written, however.
If you are a pharmacist you will laugh a lot with this book. But it's from British pharmacies! Anyway it's the same, customers are annoying anywhere!
This is a funny book from the Englis pharmacist perspective. It's even worth a second read through.
Much better and entertaining books on pharmacy out there. Biggest knock is it is a book of tweets some are funny but I couldn't even make it through the first half of the book. Some of my personal favorite pharmacy books are Drug Monkey's Why Your Prescriptions Take So Damn Long to Fill, Mr. Pills Crazy Pharm Wildest Customer Stories, Paul Rodger's Its Only a Few Pills- a pharmacists life.
