Pharmacist: "OK show me"

Patient: *holds inhaler up to nose*

Tell me how regular people know what the fuck they are talking about when it comes to medicine.

To be honest, I'd rather have less doctors and higher cost of healthcare than having some of these morons out there practicing medicine on some saloon barbershop shit.

It did. Reminds me of the guy asking for a recommendation that was trying to convince us that "non-drowsy" meant it makes you sleepy.

The way he said it smelled of such bullshit that my pharmacist couldn't help but ask. He knew the result would be hilarious.

Well, at least he didn't try to eat the inhaler.

I had one patient once a few years ago come in to pick up a Ventolin and when I began to counsel him, he interrupted and said he did not need the teaching. We saw him go sit down at a bench in the pharmacy and take out the inhaler and just take like ten to fifteen puffs of the albuterol.

incredible

I like the people who live on the rescue inhalers. "Do you want us to contact your doctor for a maintenance inhaler?" "Nah I'm good".

There's so many things that have to fail for people to make these mistakes. The doctor has to prescribe it without explaining how to use it. They have to get it from a pharmacist without them explaining how to use it. And then the patient has to look at the inhaler, and instead of reading the instructions, just hope for the best and wing it and then decide that they've figured it out.

So many times doctors write prescriptions with just the name of the medication. No strength, no quantity, no directions, no # of refills, for controls a lot of the time no DEA. What the fuck do these chuds even do all day besides get mad when we call them asking for clarification.

While I generally hate dealing with Medicaid sometimes, I kinda like that our states Medicaid program restricts its patients to one Proair every 90 days or two every 180 days.

Eh, not really. A lot of pharmacy schools these days are teaching that we should ask more open ended questions during teachings and ask patients to either teach back or demonstrate what theyve learned.

Pharmacists ask their patients to demonstrate understanding of medical devices all the time

Or at least, they should be if its first time usage/refill history suggesting doses are being wasted

I'll take your word on it. Usually my doctor is the one who handles that, and my pharmacist just has it ready for me to pick up.
