  2. @HI_Greens Indeed - that wouldn't surprise me at all! I can very well imagine the existence of #Neanderthals with that sort of #knowledge. If there were #Neanderthal #dentists, why not Neanderthal #doctors & #pharmacists? They probably didn't divide up the roles like we do.

  3. This is an impossible ask, but we have to try. Ruba has just five days to pay her tuition or her almost five years of work will be wasted. She needs $3000.

    Surely there are #teachers? Fellow #Pharmacists, those that understand how much this means?!

  4. The situations way more complex than just a "debate". Psilocybin clearly has benefits for mental health treatment - but taking it off class A schedule 1 creates obvious #security risks of #diversion - especially with the #NHS being on the ropes and a lot of disgruntled staff with low morale.

    There have also already been quite a few private #pharmacists nicked and struck off for diversion and/or loose prescription of other #ControlledDrugs

    This needs to be addressed before any change to #drugs laws (or even if they do happen, healthcare professionals are going to be too wary of prescribing the stuff anyway for fear of making a career-limiting move or even getting in legal trouble), this is already affecting #ADHD patients who could benefit from #amfetamines

  5. God I hate the #American #healthcare system so much. I have so many #chronic conditions that I will forever struggle to be financially solvent and apparently forever caught between piss fucking poor communication between #doctors and #pharmacists and pharmacy benefit managers and #insurance companies.

    Fuck. This is so stupid. We don’t have to be this fucking bad at stuff.

    I guess I’m the product apparently of making others richer.

  6. All state Governors should do this

    #NY governor issues order to bypass #Trump admin's #COVID #vaccine limits

    New York Gov #KathyHochul signed an executive order Friday authorizing #pharmacists in the state to administer COVID-19 #vaccinations to anyone who wants a shot, becoming the latest Democratic governor to try to countermand the Trump admin’s new limits on #inoculations.

  7. How do #pharmacists think about #prescription checking?

    This #thinkAloud study recorded their thoughts as they checked!

    The default strategy was pattern matching, with more reflective thinking in atypical situations.

  8. Two bills signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer this week allow pharmacists to prescribe hormonal birth control, and require insurance companies to cover those contraceptives.#Contraception #Pharmacists #familyplanning #healthcare #legislation
    Whitmer signs bills allowing pharmacists to prescribe hormonal contraceptives
  9. Dictator #DJT Revokes #Biden Exec Order ‘Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans.’

    Massively shifting impact immediately affects more than 6 million Californians on #Medicare and those #diabetics who get insulin capped at $35 a month.

    “I was shocked,” said #California #Pharmacist Sonya Frausto.

    If gov subsidies are gone, #pharmacists can no longer provide #medications at lower govt subsidized rates and the impact of the #health industry clusterfuck is immediate on US patients relying on these rates.

  11. Man, #pharmacists have got to be the worst of all the bureaucrats I deal with in daily life.

    No matter which pharmacy, it seems they're always the same, losing things, processes fail, cycling through the "we ordered it, we've got it, we've lost it" cycle.
