To ask my pharmacist to use my actual title on my medicine

If i was the pharmacist i would happlily update it for you.
But id be thinking 'what a dick' in my head.

Miss sounds young and fresh, or rather glamorous like a Governess in a 19th C novel.

Mzz sounds like you are a divorced woman.

French Mme is far nicer.

Fair enough but that is not the case for the OP

God help you when you have some serious issues to deal with in your life.

Getting worked up over a title is bonkers.

What is so awful about Miss?

Do you not want to be noted as being single? (If you are?)

It’s massively different.
The pharmacist won’t give two hoots about a cannabis prescription- our pharmacy do them too. ( They had leaflets about them) but very expensive.

Miss sounds like an ancient crone?

What a vile comment.

MUZZ sounds much worse. It sounds ridiculous.

And what on EARTH is wrong with a woman changing her name (to her husband's) on marriage??!! The vast majority of women do! (90% actually! Whether you like it or not!)

.

I’d find a different organic supplier!
( much cheaper) depending on where you live of course.

This.

I can't imagine being this trivial. It really doesn't matter.

Like a PP said...get a hobby

This, fgs, this is someone who sees hundreds of people, is busy and they give zero effs what your name is. It'll just be whatever is on the label printed. If you want to be a pain to someone just doing their job then go for it. Alternatively just go to a different pharmacy as you clearly have some weird issues with them, which i strongly suspect is coming from you not them, and if its coming from them then why would you shop there.... I kept my maiden name and am regularly called by my husbands surname, it's mildly irritating, some people I am sure do it to make a point but guess what - I get over it and don't let it bother me, because it's kinder and easier for everyone. Be the bigger person.

Of all the things to be concerned or upset about, personally I’d wouldn’t even put this on the list! Ok, different things bother different people. As long as the medication is correct, I say pick your battles.

I understand how the OP feels. The title that people use when writing to me or using my name it's important to me and if someone is aware of my title, I find it very rude if they choose to call me something else. I've been a Mrs for over 40 years and a Miss before then, and I expect people to respect that and not address me as Ms. I'm not sure that I would bother to raise it for something like a prescription but I would challenge this in most situations.

Oh dear.

I have friend who's a pharmacist. I think they'd roll their eyes at this one OP.

you seriously think they have nothing else to do all day - things that are more important?

Who else sees your medication? Why does this matter in the slightest?

I can't bear Mzzzzz- what on earth is wrong with Miss or Mrs?

It's impossible to pronounce it anyway.

What an absolute idiotic thing to get het up over!

I personally hate the title Ms,but if someone wrote it on a piece of paper I doubt I would even notice.

Utter madness.

Not cool to edit your op so it bears NO resemblance to the original. For the alone you’re unreasonable.

Mme is lovely!

I’m going to check my meds ( Thyroxine) now to see what mine say… (re title)
Mine say “Miss” too!

( I’m actually divorced)
I don’t mind though - clearly it bothers you, so get it changed .

Okay, so what's likely happened is that on the first occurrence, the dispenser has input your first name and surname into the system and essentially done the pharmacy version of "control + K on Outlook" to then pull your details from the NHS spine as to avoid duplicate patient records.

Having been in a position where you are dispensing a script and getting duplicate records and working out which to use, which to merge/delete etc it just adds to the complexity of it.

Again, still comes down to the details on the NHS Spine not showing "Ms"

I wonder if the pharmacist makes no effort to spell unusual names correctly too.

Just take your business elsewhere, and when you do, let them know why.

How sad that this even takes thought ! Absolutely pathetic !

If men aren't married, they're a Mr. If they are married, they're also a Mr.

Almost as if it's none of anyone's bloody business whether they are married or not because they aren't defined or judged on the basis of whether they managed to get someone to put a ring on it.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was an equivalent for women?

Op. If you'd said my correct title is 'dr' but the pharmacist is using 'mrs', I think you'd have had some different responses.

Some posters don't think you should have the correct title, basically because they don't like your title.

wow. I’d hate to think of a pharmacist using my family member’s diagnosis as a mental prop for judging others negatively, in the way you describe here. My family member would hate it too.

You don’t know what else may be going on in other people’s lives that means a ‘small’ courtesy, like the use of the correct title, really matters to them. What you’re describing here shows a real lack of empathy.
