Ooh, I saw your reblog about older pharmacists putting their cigarettes out on the IV hood. I'm an inpatient tech and one of my fellow techs is over the age of 70 and has had the same job at the same site since the Vietnam War was happening. There were no computers in the hospital, people smoked everywhere while working, and patients could be prescribed whiskey which was dispensed out of a vat in the pharmacy.
A vat!!!! WHAT?? Please pump your coworker for more horror stories.
I mean, before benzos and barbiturates became common for alcohol withdrawal, using liquor was used. You could even put it into IV bags. Not whiskey though as far as I know.
registering for classes tomorrow to become a pharmacy tech!!
state exam days 33/37
can you believe it?! it’s the final week! 💫 this is actually the exam I’m dreading the most because I’m an absolute loser when it comes to chemistry :‘)
finals season yet again
SSRIs: what if we forcibly stopped your brain from re-absorbing serotonin too fast?
antihistamines: what if your immune system calmed the fuck down?
opiates: what if EVERYTHING calmed down?
NSAIDs: what if we just blocked these enzymes?
acetaminophen (paracetamol/tylenol): pain gone :)
O Wise Medblrs, particularly of the USA variety, I beseech your wisdom!
Today I ran into the office to grab something and checked my physical inbox, in which there was a paper request asking me to scan a QR code and enter an ID number to authorize a script (I can't remember if it was for DME or meds)
I had several problems with this:
1. I'm with the Boomers on this one, QR codes are a PITA and I hate them and refuse to use them
2. I don't have a work cell, only a personal one, and honestly more of my work goes onto my personal phone than I'd like, so I'm not jumping to have more
3. This sounds like a scam or a virus wanting to steal my identity, and tbh they can have it (I barely want my identity most days), but they're going to have to work harder at it
I wrote they need to send the request in another format, so we'll see what comes of it, but I being a backwoods hick about this? Are y'all scanning QR codes to fill requests? Is this the Next Big Thing?
Thank you in advance!
Luddite-ly,
