Syringes

Some people at the pharmacy would sell syringes to a person with a needle stuck in them and a tourniquet strapped to their arm. It's frustrating dealing with said people when you deny them their addiction....but their responses are amazing.

Couple days ago...redneck junkie comes up. Gives the whole well-rehearsed line about needing a pack of U-100s. I ask him does he fill his insulin here. That question usually makes said junkie throw back a deer-in-the-headlight look. But this guy...oh this guy has got it laid out. He said he takes Hemoglobin 70/30 insulin.

There is a Humalog 70/30 insulin for sure...but I'm not exactly sure what kind of insulin a doctor would prescribe that has an oxygen carrier in it.

So...syringe denied.
