"Mr. Quack," the boy answered with a smile.

Then the man went into the shop and said, "Give me some medicine, Mr. Quack." The chemist became angry and slapped4 him in the face .The man didn't think the chemist had heard him, he repeated in a loud voice. "I want some medicine for a cold, Mr. Quack!" And he was heavily slapped in the face again. "Do you have anything else to give?" "Nothing." The chemist answered angrily.

Then the man covered his face and left. When he got home, he said to his wife. "I've brought the medicine for your fever. Get up." As soon as the woman sat up, he gave her a slap in the face. The slap was so heavy that she fell down bed. It frightened her. She sweated5 and soon got well. The man was very happy and went to town again.

When he came into the chemist's shop, he said to the chemist, "Half of your medicine has cured my wife and there's the other half left. I've brought it here and I must return it to you. Mr. Quack." With these words, he gave the chemist a heavier slap and left happily.

庸　醫(yī)

一女子患了感冒躺在床上。她要自己的丈夫進城去幫她抓點藥回來，但她丈夫不知道應該怎樣稱呼藥劑師。在走進藥店之前，他攔住一個過路的男孩問道：“對不起，請問你知道藥劑師的名字嗎？“庸醫(yī)先生。”那個男孩微笑著告訴他。

于是這個男子進到藥店里，見到藥劑師就說：“我要抓些藥，庸醫(yī)先生。”藥劑師很生氣，結結實實給了他一個耳光。這個男子以為藥劑師沒有聽清，又大聲重復道：“我想抓副退燒藥，庸醫(yī)先生?！彼职ち撕莺菀粋€耳光?！澳氵€有什么要給我的嗎？”男子問道?！皼]有！”藥劑師氣沖沖地說。男子捂著臉離開了。

回到家，他對妻子說：“我把退燒藥抓回來了，你起來一下吧！”妻子剛起來，他就使足了勁給了她一巴掌，打得她跌到床下去了。妻子經(jīng)這么一打一嚇，出了一身大汗，真的退燒了。

男子非常高興，又進城去找那個藥劑師。他一進藥店就對藥劑師說：“上次抓的藥只用一半就治好了我太太的病，還剩下一半，我?guī)Щ貋砹耍冶仨氝€給你，庸醫(yī)先生?！闭f完，他給了藥劑師狠狠的一巴掌，然后快樂地離開了。

美國藥店里的藥劑師的工作不是照方抓抓藥而已，他們要對病人的用藥安全負責，要對醫(yī)生開出的處方進行復核，對非處方藥物進行監(jiān)控和指導，為顧客提供咨詢和輔導。發(fā)現(xiàn)有疑問的處方，藥劑師必須與醫(yī)生取得聯(lián)系?；诿绹幍甑膶I(yè)服務，美國人對藥劑師的信任度甚至超過了醫(yī)生。
