Pharmacists LOVE Electrolytes (featuring Pharmustafa)

[@kaboomsihal1164]

If pharmacy suggests a change you agree. It's not a suggestion. They're politely saving your ass. Every day.

[@burgueryt]

To simplify: pharmacy guy is optimizing the shit out of the patient treatment and medicine guy is acting like he knows what pharmacy guy meant

srlsy tho. i am about average in studies and pursuing this course makes me so nervous. that guy has an excellence of god level knowledge about almost all meds and i cant even imagine the enormous amount of efforts it took for that enormous amounts of knowledge. i am scared about my future career. 😳

[@LydiaTarine12]

Yes, and it is not realistic. Most MDs my RPhs speak to become upset by this kind of thing, sadly. 😢

Absolutly! I had one catch a mistake in dosing that would have killed me🙁as written

[@soekein2385]

What's worse is where I work they cut their pay in half and gave a $20 raise to nurses and a $150 to doctors per hour. While cutting the 35-40per hour pay from pharmacists to basically starting 17 to 23 max. It's sad.

[@37VQV]

@@soekein2385 That is compelete non-sense. No one gettings a raise of 20 hr hour just like that. A doctor getting a raise of 150 dollars an hour in addition to their exisiting salary? Pharmacist making 23 dollars an hour. Where are you getting your facts from ; this is pure non-sense

[@soekein2385]

@@37VQV I'm getting my facts from the actual people working here in the hospital where I work at. So if you believe it is nonsense and think everything is sunshine and rainbows, let me be the first to tell you 1. I work on the Frontline and 2.

PEOPLE SLEEP ON PHARMACISTS. VERY FEW REALIZE THEY ARE REAL MEDICAL DOCTORS WHO SPECIALIZE IN DRUG INTERVENTION! CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY LIVES THEY SAVE ON A DAILY BASIS?

[@Holicannoli47]

As an ICU RN, I love when certain pharmacists are on, because I know my patients will be getting the absolute best. If I’m ever in doubt (about anything really but especially electrolytes lol), I usually consult with pharm first before asking the provider. The MD/APRN/PA will usually just say defer to day shift (obviously NOT ideal - patients deserve the best at every hour of the day). Gotta love pharmacy ❤

[@zackwarshaw6893]

So I did a year of nursing school in Australia (2012) where Electronic Medical Record hadn't caught on yet. Alllll paper charting. NOTHING warmed the heart like seeing pharmacy arrive to the floor, go through all the charts, and re-write all of the med orders in the patient charts in their purple pens. 1) You could suddenly read everything. 2) Suddenly everything was logical. We must protect pharmacy at all costs!

[@TheDramacist]

Obviously in purple. We like colour coordination in pharmacy. We aren't animals.

[@samanthagibson5791]

When I was a pre-reg in a UK hospital we all used green pens. Dr and nurses had black and blue, cant remember which had which, and they didnt want it to look like we were correcting them, so red was out, which left green.

[@30pranaypawar17]

Clinical field scares me and excites me at the same time.

[@DMerk2012]

Thank God for pharmacists. We write so many notes and manage so many patients at once that we actually do sometimes forget basic things like a patient having diarrhea because it's just one of dozens of problems they have. Teamwork makes the dream work.

[@paxundpeace9970]

Pharmacy has often far less staff and almost all clinical patients that get meds to check

[@aalynnodell9809]

This is what i was thinking and my pharmacist today always informs me of alternatives and what not. And then there are a few pharmacists who are just complete buttholes when regarding doctors orders. Ive had to wait until said pharmacist was off the clock to fill medications before. Now i stick with the same pharmacist. She knows me by name and knows what i am ok with and what im not ok with. I understand theres medications you just can't mix and medications that have a better option but this wasn't the case here. It was clearly personal judgement and i dont think they work there anymore. Hats off to pharmacists and doctors who listen and dont pass any judgement no matter what!

[@carmen_says_hi]

@@aalynnodell9809 I'm a pharmacy technician. Yes, there are pharmacists that are overly cautious. Especially new pharmacists (I call them "baby pharmacists"). I think it's because they're paranoid about losing their license or getting sued.

[@30pranaypawar17]

​@@carmen_says_hiexactly. i am a pharma grad and i am really scared about entering clinical practice. even the guy in the video makes me think twice before taking a hospital pharm job. but still... something about helping patients excites me. 😯

[@perfectlyimperfect2368]

The last time I was in the hospital pharmacy was the one that caught the doctor prescribing me something that I'm allergic to. And our local pharmacy has the most incredible women who will help fight insurance and doctors on our behalf. They have gone above and beyond so many times for our family. From getting problems fixed,making endless phone calls until it's right to actually bringing a prescription to our house after they left work. So thankful for them and the work they do!

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Till some pain management department trying to force pai medication down your throat but you keeo refusing. Who cares if its 2 days after surgery. I don't want the pain medication! Of course the pharmacy is completely confused as a lot of proscribed stuff is simply not being used or filled. Ya, i felt the IV line moving out from 1 knee through my groin area to the other leg. Also felt the suction bulbs being popped out. Ticklish ichy feeling.

[@theinvisiblewoman5709]

Yeah pharmacy school is intense. Pharmacist are drug specialist to both doctors, patients and everyone in between.

[@theinvisiblewoman5709]

@@NajYlib-mc5fo noooo lol we don’t diagnose complex illnesses. I don’t mind letting the MDs have that scope. But also yes some pharmacist have specialties like diabetes, anticoagulants, HIV, etc etc where’s they manage their own patients *after* diagnosis. But our job is to make sure the medication is as close to a benefit for each individual patient as possible and sometimes drug regimes become complex when patients are complex so MDs need advice or a hand managing. We also are double checkers to make sure nothing is missed like a few weeks ago I had a patient who the ER doctor prescribed antibiotic called ciprofloxacin to a person on warfarin an anticoagulant . The antibiotic will cause the blood to become too thin when people take warfarin at the same time which can lead to stroke. Patient was smart and didn’t start the meds until after he spoke with us his “personal” pharmacist because he knew there was an interaction but didn’t know what to do. What we did was decrease the warfarin dose for the duration of his antibiotics treatment and checked INR (a special blood test) to make sure he was in goal. It sucks that ER doctor missed it and not all hospitals have dedicated ER pharmacists. But luckily this patient had a pharmacist who specializes in his condition who is often times easier to reach than their primary doctor. Luckily more pharmacy students are doing into speciality practice.

Had to slow to .75 speed, listen twice, laughed x3, such good acting

[@Aedi]

I live with a pharm student, and I realised pretty quickly how important it is that they're a separate job. There is so much he's gotta learn on how different things can interact, how you can optimise things, how to adjust meds to account for side effects or allergies and that can almost start the entire concoction over again in some cases. it's not reasonable to expect a doctor or nurse to learn all that, so having the mental load offloaded onto someone else can definitely cause some frustration when they point out why a plan won't work, but pointing out that there's a problem, or that it could be done better, is exactly why you do it. Also since both will have an understanding of the broader aspects, there's extra people to catch any mistakes, because humans make those

[@dietitianmama]
