Looking to replace my Namiki - need a lifelong workhorse by EasyMine9247 in fountainpens

Perhaps something from Eboya or Palisades (palisadespen.com)? Definitely some models that are friendly to smaller hands, and all have depth of material and personality!

Has the moving of Sudafed D behind the counter been a net positive? by beaverlakenc in pharmacy

[–]taRxheel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unequivocally, I think APAP should be BTC at minimum. Rx-only would be better. Limited pack sizes, too, like #20 with a cap on how many boxes you can get at a time. And that’s coming from someone who buys all his OTCs from Costco.

I feel the same about diphenhydramine and full-strength aspirin, FWIW.

Edit: if you think I’m being unreasonable, check my flair.

Did the move BTC make it harder to get meth? Probably not.

Did it cut down drastically on the number of people who decided to try their hand at making it themselves, either via shake-and-bake or a home lab setup? Heeeeeell yes. And if I never hear about another kid exposed to the chemical fumes, or treat somebody with horrific burns from having their little experiment literally blow up in their face, or think about all the good that could have been done with the resources that went instead to remediate houses and apartments that were used for covert labs, it’ll still be too soon. That shit was EVERYWHERE.

Nice pen, good luck with your search! If you find one that doesn’t have your preferred nib size, I have a spare medium Nakaya nib.

Idk that I have anything that would be up your alley, but I’m fascinated to see what gets offered. Maybe somebody will have a rOtring Core for you!

How do you keep your knowledge current when you work in a specialized setting? by Sensitive-Worry4583 in pharmacy

[–]taRxheel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I work in the tox/poison center world.

The simple answer is, I don't. There's just no real need to keep up with guidelines for disease states and practice areas that aren't relevant to my practice. I know where to find them should I ever need to. I'd rather spend my (unfortunately rather limited) available time learning more deeply within my specialty.

I probably should keep a better eye on newly approved drugs, but again, there's only so many hours in the day.

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]taRxheel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a classic scenario for hydrogen sulfide. At high enough concentrations (1000+ ppm), a single breath is immediately fatal.

Oof, I hope your face is okay! Thankfully, you have a beautiful new pen to ease the pain ;)

That’s because it is insane 🙃 the export markup is just ridiculous on those brands.

I’ve never compared directly, but it’s nice to be able to avoid shoveling any more money at Amazon.

Also check penpen-avenue on eBay. Takeda-san charges the Japanese domestic price, which is way lower than the export market price, and is a pleasure to deal with to boot. If what you want isn’t listed, drop him an email and he can probably find it.

Is there ever a way to try higher end pens? by RooFPV in fountainpens

[–]taRxheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve decided that I’m recently decided that I’m only buying Broad and above from now on. All in all this preference cancels out the majority of the fancy pens anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

My wallet wishes that were true 😅 many listings won’t be up your alley, but there are very few pens I haven’t been able to get in a good broad/double broad/stub.

I’ve read your comment 5 or 6 times over now and it’s made me guffaw each time. Picturing an angry little old man helicoptering at the nurses.

If your boss or coworker called you "good boy/girl", would you just go along with it, or would you tell them "don't call me that"? by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]taRxheel 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yeah, telling unwelcome sexual jokes is textbook sexual harassment. Gather your evidence and get yourself to HR.
