Mindy Betzler went to Elk Drug the other day and was surprised to learn that her prescription was Elk Drug's One Millionth!
DAYTON–As if celebrating her store's 100th anniversary this year wasn't enough, Dayton's Mindy Betzler walked in Elk Drug-just across Main Street from her store, Dingle's of Dayton–and was surprised to learn that the prescription she was there to pick up was Dayton's long-time pharmacy's One Millionth prescription received from a provider.
Elk Drug's Sean Thurston presented Betzler with a gift basket of items from Elk Drug and a gift card from Skyline Parts of Dayton.
"Isn't that a riot!" Betzler exclaimed. "It's pretty fun. I got a lovely basket and a nice card. They're a great bunch of people."
"It surprised me because I've never been the millionth anything," Betzler added.
"I'm not sure prescriptions is what you want to be the one millionth of," she quipped.
"This is not the same as the number of prescriptions dispensed," Thurston said, "since many prescriptions include a number of refills. We believe this number did start at zero originally in 1889, but our records don't go back far enough for us to know for sure."
