hello (:
“But if you ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head — if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel?”

mindsets of people are jus this hard to change. all the stuffs that lecturers teach in pharm prac about the changing faces of a pharmacist and what not, today i realise they all dun stand.
i was at this meeting today, and the way that these people put down the role of a pharmacist really pissed me off. what sparked off the issue was because they had a misconception that we may make changes to the patient's medication, when the whole main purpose of our visit is actually jus to check on their medications and ensure that they are compliant and exercising safe medication. so they went off to say that pharmacists' sole role is jus to dispense, and that we cannot prescribe medications to patients. that docs are the only ones who can and we, even if we are licensed pharmacists, do not have the knowledge and liberty to do so. that even practicing pharmacists are not equipped to decide if a patient is taking the appropriate medications for his/her conditions because we do not know enough. and that they made pharmacists sound like some dispensing machines who receive orders from doctors and we can only follow and never be in charge even though we are the experts in our own field. what pissed me off is the fact that they totally disregard pharmacy straight and flat in the faces of pharmacy students! like wtf seriously. what made them think they have the right to put us down this much? i dun think the doctors know more about drugs than us do, and i dun think we are any much less capable than them. i had this urge to shoot the people down today, but i had to control my tone because we have to work with them. so that's life. that we pharmacists, despite trying so hard to diversify our roles and sharpen our knowledge and skills, are still being highly disregard by many out there. and especially when i see people looking that down on us, i get really pissed.
what a nice way to bring this harsh fact across. but maybe thats what we need the most. stop telling us the ideal but impractical things in lectures. some people are jus that screwed up.
