See dood, that's the key. Every admin thinks they're smarter than everyone who work for them. So, a typical pharmacist's opinion carries very little therefore more often than not, you're not going to convince the admin of anything. Consultant is different. The admin knows that since the consultant doesn't work for him/her... the admin believes consultants are smarter people...that's why they pay the consultants. So, once in a while, the consultant will basically take what the hospital staff says and prepares a shiny report and sell it back to the admin.
That's how life works sometimes turd boy..
