Pharmacists (9)
jagtom: Having lived most of my life in countries other than England. It is almost second nature to use a pharmacist.
They are highly trained ans usually cheaper than a Doctor, especially overseas.
But in this country it is more difficult to see your GP.
As qualified healthcare professionals(pharmacists), they can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines for a range of minor illnesses, such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble and aches and pains.
If symptoms suggest it's something more serious, pharmacists have the right training to make sure you get the help you need. For example they will tell you if you need to see a GP, nurse or other healthcare professional.
All pharmacists train for 5 years in the use of medicines. They are also trained in managing minor illnesses and providing health and wellbeing advice.
Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.
Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
Do you have any tips I still can't get my smart meter from taking off when i do some cooking.They are highly trained ans usually cheaper than a Doctor, especially overseas.

Here in the US, it's a very difficult high stress job. My daughter is a senior pharmacist/manager. Very often she will work 14 hrs a day, doesn't get paid for overtime. With counseling clients (many do not give her information on what else they are taking, then they get angry because she can't Rx what they want. Not to mention clients on Class A narcotics who want Rxs filled before they are due. Inventory, filling the general Rxs, testing for Covid and giving the vaccine. 99% of pharmacies are owned by corporations and they rarely give raises. Many Pharmacists are quitting because of the stress. New graduates of universities coming into the profession are getting 25% less than a decade ago.They are highly trained ans usually cheaper than a Doctor, especially overseas.

yep the US does suck for meds.
My pain doctor has been having problems with Pharmacies taking new scripts or receiving limited supplies due to law suits.
After speaking with various medical p[professionals including the pharmacy they are seeing more and more shortages of a wider variety of meds.
No on ever discusses this.
Most meds are produced in China and India.
The FDA checks about every four months. I imagine they check a single pill in lots of 100k.
That means that the active ingredient can be reduced by something as small as .005% and save the manufacturer billions between tests.
When you receive a med from the pharmacy you have a date and instructions on how to store the meds,
From the time of manufacture you have zero idea when they were made or how they were stored and shipped.
Plus they pass through x amount of different facilities.
And you also have organized crime replacing meds with other weaker ones.
Then you have companies changing fillers and waters which some people have reactions to.
Some medical professionals are starting to catch on to these complaints and fully understand when you discuss the matter.
But to most it is a business and YOU are replaceable if you complain. Plus you get a bad rep as a patient, argumentative.
Nursing homes use BP meds to control patients through dizziness.
I personally have negative, bad, reactions to moss meds and ONLY use two actively.
I have observed a very deep decline in the efficacy of the two main meds which I use and avast difference between the generic and the name brand.

I didn't realise things were so bad in the States as far as medication goes. There are pretty tight regulations in the UK.My pain doctor has been having problems with Pharmacies taking new scripts or receiving limited supplies due to law suits.

dude there are antibiotic shortages.
Pain meds are the target of attorneys and states which need money. Someday pain meds will only be used for Palliative care, ease the suffering of the dying.
You know we can't even purchase codeine over the counter.
People who live along the Mexican border drive across to fill either scripts or buy things over the counter you can't in the US.
I now see people purchasing directly from places like India.
During the Bush years many people were crossing the border into Canada to buy meds because they are government subsidized and cheaper.
So congress tossed up a Bil banning that practice because they claimed to be worried about the quality of the meds.
BIG PHARMA wins every time.

Howdy--I found your thread to be interesting. My (almost) entire career was in the professional health care field. I was a vocational nurse, certified medical assistant, and pharmacy technician. In the United States, a registered pharmacist must have his or her doctorate - (takes 6-7 years) a pharmacy technician can have 1, 2, or 4 years of college. Some states allow one to become a pharmacy technician by working as one, but this is going by the wayside. Medical assistants need 1-2 years of college, vocational or practical nurses need 1.5 to 3 years of college, depending on the state. I know of no trained medical assistants, pharmacists, vocational nurses, or pharmacy technicians. They are EDUCATED. Thanx.They are highly trained ans usually cheaper than a Doctor, especially overseas.

states need money. Oxyconitin was a bad drug made worse by bad marketing and bad medical professionals.
Once the states saw potential income the law suits piled up.
Now the ILLEGAL Fentanyl crisis is being attributed to LEGAL meds.
The states aren't gonna sue the cartels.
Eventually it will trickle all over the nation.
