Sneaky Person in Patient's Building

Patient was worried about theft of her meds.

I received a phone call one day...

​P: Hi, this is P. Do you remember those white pills you gave me yesterday?

*I check the computer, they are amlodipine*

P: Did you remember filling the bottle to the top? Or did you fill to maybe 1 and one-half centimetres from the top? There's a mischievous person in this building and when I went to exercise and came back, I thought I had less than before.

*Technician and I pour 90 amlodipine into a vial*

Me: We can confirm that yesterday we would not have filled your bottle to the top.

P: Oh good, I can calm down now, thank you.



Never before have I received such specific measurements as to how far up the prescription vial a medication was filled to.
