I am a floater, but I have a set schedule. Yesterday I worked with a staff pharmacist (also their set schedule). This person went out of their way to email the DM to say I wrote my own prescription for a spacer. I didn’t use my own license as the prescriber. It was not for me or my family. The ger
I know there's been a lot of people pushing for pharmacists/doctors to give Narcan to any patient on ER/LA opioids. Just wanted to share what recently happened to one of my patients. Pt is 86yo, has been on oxycodone ER 20mg q12h for 5 or 6 years. Rare use of IR - she'll take an oc/apap 5/325 on

Hello. My husband is a 37 year old uninsured male who went to the ER today for a fever that has been pretty high for about a week. There, they administered a flu test (negative) and took x-rays and determined that he has an antibiotic-resistant form of pneumonia in his right lung and a bacterial inf
Every flu season each patient with an URI gets a Z-pack, Tamiflu, albuterol, and if they are feeling fancy, some oral roids. This year, azithromycin is no longer flying off the shelves. How the heck are all these sick people recovering from their colds without their yearly z-pack? Are they just dyin
My daughter is 8 years old. She has asthma and Celiac, so I feel she just doesn't have any immunity. She is on day 10 of 105° and higher fevers, her O2 is hanging out around 87-94%. After 4 puffs of Albuterol and 2 of Flovent she goes up to 94-96%. 4 days ago after 2 ER visits, our pediatrician did
