Conjugated Estrogens vs ESTRADIOL

For years, the medical world was told that David Reimer — known in studies as the "John/Joan" case — was a success story for "learned" gender. But behind the scenes, David was living a nightmare he couldn't explain. Under the guidance of psychologist John Money, David spent his childhood feeling lik

I used to match their toxic energy and clapback, but I've found approaching them with unconditional kindness and mutual humanity actually works. This is one of four people I've managed to completely flip the script on in the last couple of days.

I'm a native English speaker that took a few years of Spanish in high school, decades ago. I kept up with it enough that I can still ask and answer questions and hold fairly basic conversations. I have to "feel out" most of my grammar and conjugation as I go, so I'm sure I sound like a caveman, but

EDIT: I just woke up and wow... thank you guys for the support! I may not be able to respond to all of you, but I'll try my best :) Know that I'll likely see all of you guy's comments, but I'll prioritize responding to criticism. After seeing the post by u/Foreign-Secret8024, I had to do something.

I remember when I became a pharmacist 35 years ago. Generic Premarin was a top 10 drug and was in our automatic filling machine. (Baker Autoscript). Then Wyeth did some legal shenanigans and got it off the market. Well, 30 years later……

Pharmacy edition. For me… Patient: I need an early fill for my prescription i lost my estradiol gel. I have a refill. Me after trying to over ride early fill: Sorry but your insurance won’t pay for it. With my savings finder it comes out to $48.17 Patient: But i have a refill. And Medicaid. Me:

A genuine prescription that I received at work the other day. Not too sure the phases of the moon are clinically proven. Given the med and the days, I figured that it meant until next menses, but it’s still pretty funny, and gave us all a good laugh at work. Happy holidays! Until the next full moon

Help a nurse out, lol. Part of my job is to call in birth control prescriptions to the pharmacy Our charting system , shows BC orders written something like “E. estradiol and Norgestimate 0.035mg, 0.18/0.215/0.25mg” When calling, saying all that is a mouthful, and often confuses the tech.

What are some of the dumbest prescriptions you've gotten? I've seen some doozies, like the one for estradiol cream that instructed the patient to insert 1 gallon into the vagina weekly. I mean, yikes! And then there are all the handwritten ones (ffs just buy the script software already, it's been ye

The two pharmacists at my local CVS in Target are absolutely amazing. Above and beyond, just wonderful people. I know you all are taken for granted, and I know retail places like CVS can be the absolute worst. I'd really love to do something (beyond just saying "thank you") to thank them for making

Has anyone seen norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol dosed like a steroid taper ie 5 tabs day one, 4 tabs day two, decreasing by 1 tablet daily for 5 days total. With 2 additional refills given to patient. Diagnosis was abnormal bleeding, patient had never used like this before. Only dosing I can find is

I currently work as an ambulatory pharmacist and have dealt with fairly nonsensical prior authorization denials this past week. Like today, prior auth was denied for Jardiance to be used in heart failure because they wanted the patient to complete step therapy with metformin first. All the document

What if the doctor writes "apply QID PRN pain" on diclofenac? Or "inhale 1-2 puffs as needed for SOB" or "apply vaginally at bedtime three times weekly?" I hate that insurance has made us their bitch, and I'm always afraid they're gonna say "nope" a few months later and take their money back. A cowo
