From a pre-med student: do pharmacists round w/ physicians?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I wasn't aware that you could call yourself "pre-med" while still in high school. Interesting. You're another Doogie Houser, huh? It's cool you can read things from an old textbook, little boy, but it's apparent you really don't understand a fraction of what you've posted.

Wait until your pubic hair grows in and you are actually in medical school, or residency, then ask your question.

Until then, here's your shipment of FAIL. Use it wisely, kid.

When I'm an IM resident, I *really* don't want to have to *guess* about how much valsartan and enalpril I need to give my patient w/ CHF who's about to be discharged; I'd much rather want to write "valsartan and enalpril PO, per pharmacy for CHF", and have you guys figure out the dosing. (Although, if I do become a cardiologist, I'd *better* know my cardiac drugs and how to dose them.) But I probably wouldn't want to try this w/ the Walgreens pharmacy. What would *they* do? Yell at me ("Doctor, this is *not* a hospital!!!! I am *not* your fancy-schmancy 'board-certified clinical pharmacotherapy specialist' *boyfriend*!!!!") for not giving the dosage info, send it back, try to calculate it, what?

Is there any one here who's a BCPS w/ AQs in cardiology?

Does the rounding team on the cardiology wards consist of an attending cardiologist, a cardiovascular clinical pharmacist, a cardiology fellow, a PGY-2 cardiovascular pharmacy resident, a couple IM residents, a couple PGY-1 clinical pharmacy residents, and a couple medical and pharmacy students?

Thanks!!!

The reason I put pre-med is b/c it's the lowest rank that's availible, and I'm in community college, not high school, so technically, I *am* pre-med. And I do know I've *so much* to learn.

Yes, PY4 pharmacy students do rounds with residents. And yes, there are clinical pharmacy specialties.

That's what it looks like it was for. None of the posts were per se bad, it's just that he was a 16 year old fishing for information.

appears to be a just banning to me. when told to back off and you don't know what you're talking about he kept pushing the envelope in the other forums.


I'm sure they could've just ignored him (one message board I use has an ignore function so you can never have to read the messages of people who annoy you) but I don't think he would've learned anything from that.

Sure, but who would try to irritate pharmacists and pharmacy students like that? Who cares about us??? He's probably just bitter.
 
yeah, but it spent a lot of energy annoying med students and residents as well.

Maybe it was someone who lost their license recently? Annoying health professional students is a sick way to keep practicing.
 
I didn't go through every single post he made. I skimmed though, and determined most of them were annoying and fishing for information which he didn't understand.

SDN has one too.
 
I can't believe this thread lasted as long as it did. The guy was an obvious troll from his 2nd post. A pre-medical student pretending to know as much as a med student/resident/pharmacy student.. what a e-****
