Just curious, my cousin , who is a pharamacist, brought up a point I found Interesting.
He said doctors are so busy that they often do not keep up with the latest medicines and are coerced by pharm reps too often. He thought a good solution would be to have doctors be in charge of diagnosis and pharmacist be in charge of prescription based off that diagnosis
Wouldn't this make more sense ? Doesnt a pharmacist have much more training in drug interactions, the drug market, half lives etc ?
Sorry a bit buzzed and curious
