I don't think it's the training or a different time - just a case of getting older, and the realisation that the point of pharmacy isn't the prescription, the medicine or the head office target but the patient.
That having someone tell you to naff off is a failure - and the conversion of the more challenging patient is probably one of our more important interventions.
