"It's NOT your job to diagnose. Doctors do that."
So who the -censored- is arguing about that? When did I diagnose anyone?
Did I diagnose her with high intraocular pressure?
No.
What I did - I'll tell you straight on in plain English right now, since I was too bloody pissed to tell you in your face earlier on - was notice that certain constituents of her medications contained active ingredients that could potentially worsen her increased intraocular pressure.
"I've got pharmacist friends too. And they agree that doctors should be doing the diagnosing."
Yeah, no one's arguing about that. WTF. AGAIN, who said I was trying to diagnose, huh?
Layman terms. I get it. I need to use layman terms. It's called "Identifying an ADE" on our terms, but so that you can understand what that means, it basically means the drug's not the best choice, given the circumstances.
"Let the doctor handle it. Let the doctor handle it." - is a -censored- chime I hear from you. So what if you've got doctor friends? So what if you've got pharmacist friends? Either you've been severely misguided as to what a Pharmacist does, or -no offense- your pharmacist friend is severely misguided.
Docs don't do drugs. Who's supposed to know what adverse effects drugs cause? Pharmacists. Docs diagnose. Sure, they prescribe, but they prescribe according to what? The Guidelines by Drug Reps 1001. C'mon; you're not the only one with docs as friends. Hell, my entire apartment and practically half of the floor during my college days were populated by med students.
Go on. Lather on your corticosteroid cream (which you were chiming on about it not being a corticosteroid cream) onto your arms. And lather it on three times daily as advised by your specialist. Daily. Forever. As the SPECIALIST advised! *gasp*
...Just don't come crying or anything if you're suddenly diagnosed with osteoporosis in 10 years' time or something. According to the Code of Professional Conduct, a pharmacist is obliged to offer professional advice, but of course, the patient/consumer/public/whatchamacallit isn't obliged to follow it. Thank God. It's bad enough trying to do all the convincing even though it's backed by evidence; can you even possibly imagine what it'd be like if a pharmacist was obliged to make a consumer take advice? The horrors.
And oh, I admit I'm not an encyclopedia of knowledge. Neither am I Ms. Perfect. Just do yourself a favour - stop trying to downgrade others, because you don't have the ability to. You know what it sounds like to me? Maybe you can't imagine it, but I'll break it down to simple terms for you to understand. It's like me trying to say you do a -censored- lousy job with your CSS. How do you like 'em apples? Or it's like me saying, "You can't do that. CSS is not your job". You complain about how others know nuts yet they're trying to do your job. Oh, the irony in it all. And before you start sprouting your "it's-not-your-job-to-diagnose" rant again, don't. Just don't. No one said anything about diagnosing, so go back, re-learn the definition of diagnosing, then come back. I'll be glad to duke things out with you again.
Maybe when you've gained a better understanding of pharmacists. Then you can complain. Just maybe. Until then, stick with your IT stuff. Or pole. Whichever you like better, dude.
Oh, by the way. It sorta makes me wonder. What do you think pharmacists do, by the way? I know I'm going to regret asking this, but you know, curiosity.
(I'm kinda curious as to whether I'll get the "Pharmacists-are-shopkeepers!-They-sell-vitamins" kind of answer)
I don't like assuming that a person is blameless because of ignorance, mainly because by assuming a person's ignorant about a subject, you're assuming that they're at an idiot level when it comes to a certain subject. But I make exceptions, when the circumstances are right.
...And I'm amazed. This is the first time I've actually placed expletives in a blog post. Seriously.
1ST BLOG POST WITH EXPLETIVES! CONGRATS!
WHEEE Can't you just feel the sarcasm oozing out from every inch of the screen?
After calming down quite a bit, certain bits of the post have been censored. Yeah, I know. I've got anger management issues. ><
