I am semi-retired and do volunteer work for a low income clinic. I was doing my bit to help checking in and vitals, reason for visit … Had a male toddler present with severe sore throat and dark red blotches on skin in chest area. Kid looked really ill with temp over 101F. Positive strep test that had not responded to Augmentin liquid. Suggested to Resident that kid needed hospital admission. Took kid’s shoes and socks off and ends of toes turning black. Sepsis suspected. Told resident this was a medical emergency and called EMS to transport to children’s hospital. IV antibiotics and resuscitation required. The child is now a week in hospital getting ready for discharge. So much for pharmacist diagnosis.

What's the biggest health myth you've heard that you'd like to bust? Mine is that supplements are always a healthier option than prescription or OTC meds. A lot of the supplements on the shelf contain all types of unnatural ingredients and can still be harmful depending on the dosage.

Oof. True or not true? I don't know if I would still make the same choice if I knew how things were going to end up. I tend to be on the "PBM's ruined pharmacy" brigade. If you knew then what you know now, would you still go to pharmacy school?

I work in a state where abortion was previously banned and is now still pretty heavily restricted.

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing.
