OK, so I'm a mental health counselor, I work for a residential location where we have a number of clients who live both in the house where I work and in the surrounding community. Many of them are on weapons grade narcotics that we have to keep locked away behind several locked doors/safes. I come to work today, and it's time to count the medications, which we have to do every few hours. I open up the safe for the lady that has most of our narcotics...and there's one sheet of her meds, one empty bottle with 4 of her horse-pill sized valiums left in it....and nothing else. There should be 10 fucking bottles in there. I call both team leaders, and all my coworkers who have already left for the day. I'm tearing the fucking house apart, nothing. My coworkers aren't calling back, so I'm on the phone with the team leaders trying to figure out what the fuck happened.
Anytime a med leaves the house you have to log that, according to the log there should be 10 bottles of meds in that safe. I recall one of the people I work with mentioning that they were going to eventually be taking the bottles to a local CVS to get put into bubblepacks (sheets that have individual blisters for each pill, makes them easier to count). I have to call half the fucking CVS's in the area (I live in Boston), before I find the one that has our pills.
So this girl basically took all of the meds, didn't sign them out, didn't tell anyone where the fuck they were, AND left one of the bottles behind for some reason. That's what baffles me: why did she leave behind 4 fucking valium pills in a bottle back here, which makes it look like someone stole the other 86 out of the bottle. And why the FUCK would you not sign that shit out? It's the ONE FUCKING THING you have to do if you're taking a medication outside of the program. How long is the checklist to take a fucking pill out of the program? One. One fuckign item long. It's not even a checklist. It's "Hmmm am I fucktard or did I sign this shit out". There is no checklist. Just one thing. Sign the fucking pill out so I don't stand around with my dick in my hand for 3 hours trying to figure out why the fuck we're missing half our fucking meds. FUCK. ME.
