re: What exactly do Pharmacists do?

My phramacist earns her money and then some when it come to keeping up with all my prescriptions. I don't know the exact number but I think it's like 8 or 9 she keeps filled for me. But more than that she takes time to talk to me and my wife about my meds. Course she's our neighbor and our boys have grown up togther so I guess that helps.

My mother in law is a nurse. 20 years of experience in ER and recovery. If we switched places tomorrow, her patients would die and mine would be inconvenienced.
Nurse vs pharmacist!? This is not an appropriate comparison at all. We have totally different positions on the same team.

I'm immune to gay nurse jokes. They seem funny but have no basis in reality.
I've taken down my share, your share and the share of most of the people you know.
Male nurses kill it.

can I fake one of these? How do I convince my doc that I have ED when I'm completely healthy? I seriously would use a real pharmacy if I thought I could get it there and not have to keep ordering peptides
Not difficult at all. Most docs are willing to write for it when requested by the patient. The demographic we fill for is getting younger and younger.

i totally agree, but the marginalization of the pharmacy sector is quite stupid considering the added roles we keep getting in pharmacy...
look at what it is that pharmacists are now doing... MTM's, which tailor drug therapies for patients... immunizations, so much so that some MDs no longer even do them and tell their patients they can come to us for that... clinical diagnostic testing, which i'm not crazy about at all, but it is what it is... some states PharmDs have prescriptive authority...
now, compare the two... that's what i'm saying... pharmacists are basically becoming mid level practitioners, whereas nurses are still being, well, nurses...
and i say that as someone who does NOT want that shift.... it's only a matter of time before we are no longer on the counter anyway... MTM will play a much larger role in the pharmacists of tomorrow's lives.... that will be what "pharmacy" is, at one point down the road....

you really don't think with a little training, you wouldn't be able to do that?
i know i could... if a nurse can do it, i damn sure could...

That's bullshite.
An experienced nurse can identify problems with interactions and sniff out stuff as quickly as a pharmacist.
she said the exact opposite... your reading skills aren't quite up to snuff, are they?

A nurse with 20 years experience may be able to see major problems at the level of a fresh out of residency grad.
How this is some checkmate is beyond me.
A clinical pharmacist with years of experience could reasonably function as a mid level or even more depending on post graduate training. Lots of overlap in medicine.

I did read that incorrectly.

Pharmacists role will grow in healthcare. Data shows we make everything better we touch. Doctors and nurses have too much going on and too much to worry about in an acute setting to deal with intricacies of medications. It's not to say they couldn't with training- it's to say they do other things and someone needs to.

Working hours for retail are usually from 9am to 7pm (really more like 9-9 every single working day.) You will stand on your feet the entire day and some days you will not have time to eat lunch or have a coffee break. It is a day full of a growing never ending task list that you will never fully complete and will end the day with more unfinished tasks than what you started with. They do stuff that you never know about or ever see. It just is never ending. And you have deal with the public and most them are ignorant, rude, and inpatient
Sounds like what a bartender in the French Quarter has to deal with.

look bro... nurses have a hard job... i don't envy them at all... i wouldn't want that job, especially for the amount of money y'all make....
but don't go discounting pharmacists because you have some sort of inferiority complex, or whatever the hell... our job may be a little cush but its not to say it doesn't take intellect to get through that schooling and how to utilize that information afterward...
like i tell everyone... if all i do is put pills in a bottle and get paid over 150K to do it, why the frick you ain't doing it?
