Pharmacist show?

Has anyone ever wondered why pharmacists don't have their own show? Well at least in america. you'd think with all the other types of shows we have someone would go out on a limb and try it.

On a side note, apparently Europe really respect their pharmacists and they have shows over there about them almost as much as we do about doctors here.

uh, i hope this never happens.

have u seen the show, "the doctors"? http://www.thedoctorstv.com/
it's a panel of doctors (real doctors i hope) who discuss weird medical issues and alternative therapies. and they're a bunch of sellouts promoting their sponsors and vericose vein treatment

I hate that show. Im talking a comedy, like scrubs, or something like house. A fictional show.Youtube had it close, alas no public interest.

Ohhhh I see. I guess the public perception still remains that a pharmacist = pill counter. There just isn't too much TV material in that.

Maybe if there was a sitcom set in a grocery store, but even then, the pharmacist would probably just remain a minor character 😛

The life of the pharmacist cannot be described in words that are acceptable for regular TV.

HBO... maybe...

Like a pharmacist who got in trouble, but then started to survive on his own making meth...

Oh wait...

 

[ChemistWiz]

perhaps pharmacy life is too advanced for the general public. Of course we could always focus on Pharmacy school, make it a college sitcom.....

The pharmacist on "Nurse Jackie" has a prominent role, but he's more of a side plot to what Jackie does. Check out the show -- it's on Showtime.

It'd probably just be another random sitcom. I couldn't see a show like that being anything else.

I could see this being exciting. Like all those shows on Discovery or whatever about guys who do dangerous jobs like catching fish or logging or rassling bears or whatever.

We could have a show like that, in a pharmacy. Every day, there'd be bickering among the overworked pharmacists, lazy techs, strained relations with the ******* store manager, dealing with belligerent customers demanding to know why their copays have gone up... you'd even have the occasional arrest where someone gets busted for trying to pass a forged script or buy a 6 month supply of PSE.

It'd be glorious!

Would that include the guy being arrested in the parking lot for selling his oxycodone immediately after he picked it up?

And the chick that went the wrong way through the drive through?

And the woman who threw herself on the ground because we couldn't refill her medication?

And the woman who refused to buy her kid's medicine because she wanted beer?

I think between all of us, we have some pretty decent stories to share with the general public.

Not only would I love to see it, I would love to be in it.

Only issues are, I would think, HIPAA-related. I know, with doctor-related shows, all cases are anonymous.

Besides, would you want more people to know about Vicodin? Plus the combo that we commonly know of?

vicodin #300 +stool softener = legit script? then when time comes to pick it up, they only want the vicodin 😏

I envision it being more like Parks and Rec or The Office.

I think just about all of us have encountered that at some point. People would prefer to leave the HTN meds for the narcs or only get the ED drugs lol.
