You should not get special treatment with holiday scheduling just because you have kids & your childless coworkers are not obligated to work holidays for you. 🤷🏻♀️

Oh yeah don’t lift more than 10lbs but here’s your 8lb baby and a 10lb car seat. Also don’t drive but take your baby to doctors appointments 🙄
@ProfChrisMJones
Spite is exactly how I got my PharmD. When I was a kid, my dad told me I would never amount to anything, never go to college, and would end up living in a cardboard box on the side of the road.

Something similar happened to me when I was a retail pharmacist, except it was a bottle of high potency omega-3s. Thankfully my injuries were only super fish oil.

Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin, artificial sugar packets and dog treats are not ingredients for meth. If you’re going to lie, at least know what you’re lying about 😂
Why do the “prolife” people keep whining about “innocent babies” as if original sin isn’t a thing? If babies were truly “innocent” wouldn’t baptism be unnecessary?
After an iffy NST & preeclampsia at 36w+5d last week followed by a 36 hour labor induction, magnesium toxicity, 5 hours of hard pushing, and an emergent c-section; my son Jensen was born on the 8th at exactly 37 weeks. After 6 days of severe hypertension, we went home today.
Fractures of 4 ribs treated with:
-Tylenol 650mg q6h prn
-Vitamin C 500mg BID (yes it was listed for “adjunctive pain management”)
-Capsaicin 0.025% cream BID
-Gabapentin 100mg TID
-Lidocaine 4% patch 2 patches QD
I can’t with how some Drs really just hate their patients.
@MamaDoctorJones
I have a vaccine to a NICU nurse who started crying because she “was forced to get the vaccine” and didn’t want it. A NICU nurse. I almost had to borrow the meat department’s walk-in fridge for a few minutes or I was gonna say some bad words
The pharmacist in me is so mad right now. If a drug is going to be trending on Twitter at least spell it right.
It’s trazodone, not trazadone guys 🤦🏻♀️
And I say that as someone who:
-works in healthcare, it’s a 24/7 job
-used to be the one to “swap shifts” with parent coworkers on every holiday to be nice for years & they have picked up 0 shifts total for me because “can’t, I have kids”
-is also a mom & someone’s kid too

Ditto, she goes to work every day and provides the best care for her patients while probably getting death threats on the regular. That’s a hero to me.

Any idiot can yell “police”, plain clothes & no badge? You’re not a cop & that’s the response you’re getting. Like I’m going to believe you just because you say you’re somebody 😂
@TheBlondeRN
Cucumbers don’t show up well on CT scans because they’re roughly the same water density as us. But their seeds do. If you ever need to find a cucumber, look for the rings of seeds.
Dear non-pharmacy people:
Pharmacy staff do not stock the grocery store shelves. I have no idea where things are, please stop asking me & getting mad when I don’t know.
I had amazing techs at a new store today and it made my whole shift.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: good techs are worth their weight in gold & make your job easier. Treat👏them👏like👏it👏
@DGlaucomflecken
Fill generic albuterol inhaler, rejects because insurance wants brand Ventolin.
Fill brand Ventolin, rejects because brand requires a PA.
I’ve only used “Dr” when I’m trying to get hotel/flight/car rental upgrades, otherwise it’s “I’m a pharmacist” 😂
Can’t all us healthcare providers just get along for 5 minutes?
How do you tell a medical doctor?
Real doctors: *reluctant to state they are doctors in public/social forums*
Non-MD/DOs: *take every opportunity to say they are a doctor…* (chiropractors, naturopaths, pharmacists, apothecaries, charlatans…)
How I feel walking into work tonight knowing full well I’m about to sweep the leg from under this house of cards. They have no idea they’re about to enter the find out phase.
Now that I’ve been a retail pharmacist for a few months, I’ve noticed something that I need to ask:
We really don’t hold people accountable for anything they’re responsible for huh? Like ever.
No wonder why patients don’t respect us.
She apparently needs to be reminded of Tex. Occ. Code § 551.006: Notwithstanding any other law, a pharmacist has the exclusive authority to determine whether or not to dispense a drug.
The new
@CVSHealth
formulary is going to fuck over us retail pharmacists. The highlights 🧵
Need PA: all opiates (except norco/Percocet), all HIV drugs, Hep C drugs, PAH drugs, all ADHD drugs (except strattera), all non-benzo hypnotics, all triptans, all narcolepsy drugs
@notcapnamerica
They complain how everything is being “forced down their throats” and they just want to be left alone then go insert themselves into other peoples lives and business to be nasty. What hypocrites 🙄
Instead of tweeting a non-controversial pet peeve, I’m choosing violence today:
I had pitocin, an epidural & c-section.
My baby got eye ointment, vitamin K & Hep B vaccine at birth.
We nurse, pump/bottle feed, and supplement formula.
He’s a happy & healthy 12lbs. Fight me.
Question: if you found out you job posted an entry level pharmacist job only on LinkedIn that had better, more flexible hours, perks you don’t get & their starting pay is the same yours just got bumped to; would you apply just to see what your boss says?
@DrSuneelDhand
I’m a pharmacist & would like to know what proof exists these “vaccines” offer real protection from a disease & at a lower risk than said disease?
I DO know how much 💉are pushed by retail pharmacy
I know the quota stores have to make
That’s why I got out…

12 year old girls can, they aren’t women.
I have a 1yr old son, Im a person. Just like I was still a person when I was pregnant with him. Dude is also gender neutral, my dude
So far today I have
-cooked a real meal
-took the baby to Home Depot to get plants for the garden
-returned a scheduling call for pelvic floor PT
-had a therapy appointment where we found my PPD scale went from 20 to 11 in 10 days.
Wellbutrin is a helluva drug
I experienced a miracle today in the pharmacy:
I had a (former) neurologist willingly call me to apologize for being rude during our earlier call and for arguing with me over the DEA schedule of lyrica.
I will ride this high until I die!
When we complained about the workload during the Covid vax rollout so many people were all “if you don’t like your job then quit. A lot of us did. Now those same people are all *surprised Pikachu face* & “what do you mean they’re closed because there’s no pharmacist?!”

@TakeThatNurses
I’ve also seen “well who holds it for you at home? Or do you sit down to pee?” work wonders. No insecure cis man wants to be known as the one who sits down to pee for some reason 🤷🏻♀️
For the love of god people need to stop listing common side effects of drug as allergies. And LTC Drs need to at least glance at the chart before Rxing🤦🏻♀️
Pt had their pain meds delayed an extra 20 min because Dr Rx’d a narcotic they were “allergic” to. The reaction? Constipation
There’s a special place in pharmacy hell for pharmacists that hold up an order by bouncing it back to order entry solely for a spelling correction.
If you do this instead of just fixing it, I hope both sides of your pillow are always warm.
I’m so sick of 2 types of phone calls in the pharmacy:
-did my doctor send in my prescription?
-is my prescription ready?
We have an automated phone line, a website, an app, and mobile alerts that can tell you. You DONT need to speak to staff for that.
Is there any other profession other than an academic that’s just expected to freely give their intellect on demand? Just now I was asked to give a journal a manuscript review, a professional org my managerial labor, and a journalist a media-ready quote—without any quid pro quo.
The other night I napped for a few hours and left my husband unsupervised. He put eyebrows on the baby, said nothing and waited for me to notice. These boys are going to be terrible for my blood pressure 😅
So I did the math: I was hooked up to the mag sulfate drip for approximately 89 hours and received ~182 GRAMS of mag.
No wonder why I was toxic and struggling to breathe 😳
Scrolling through the dumpster fire of CVS tweets and realized how much we’re set up to fail in retail.
“Why are you filling Rxs? I want my shot!” Vs. “Why are you giving shots? I want my meds!”
We cannot win ever.
I’ve started doing this thing when patients pick up suboxone. I ask them how it’s working for them and tell them they’re doing great sticking with it because it’s a really hard habit to kick.
People seem so floored by a modicum of human kindness, we need to do better.
@DrMarinaHarris
For my ADHD, have I tried:
Journaling? Setting a schedule & sticking to it? Keeping a consistent sleep schedule? Eating healthy & exercise? Just do your homework before anything else? Try harder to focus? Reward chart?
Turns out I needed adderall.
Now that I’m a licensed pharmacist in Oregon, I will never refuse to dispense your birth control, plan b, misoprostol, syringes, or narcan for “moral reasons”.
And I will rake my coworkers over the coals if they try that nonsense while I’m on shift.
#harmreduction
At my drs appointment, she said “your answers to the depression screening questions were a little concerning…”
Me: I’m a retail pharmacist in a pandemic?
Dr: ok, fair enough.

It’s a system where if you’re rich, things are cheaper(low interest) but if you’re poor it’s way more expensive (high interest). You need money to build it and you always need to be in some kind of debt
I swear pharmacies need a receptionist or central call center so we don’t have to waste time with all the “is my prescription ready yet?”, “did my doctor send it in?”, “I need a refill & can’t be bothered to find the bottle” calls. I could get so much more done in a day.
@AUTHENTI_XX
“Save women’s sports” yeah, ok 😂
“I am not an identity!” *proceeds to make it their entire identity*
“I cannot be erased!” *continues to whine about erasure*
No wonder no one takes you seriously.
