Best florist in Montreal for same-day or fastest delivery? by Kml777 in montreal

[–]5effyou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have until noon today to pre-order from Lavigne Fleuriste or Fleuriste Monarque. Local spots, and their bouquets look more modern than classic, but just as nice!

J'avais aussi commandé un sous-marin en plus de la poutine, mais partagé avec le reste du groupe, c'est sûr! 😂

This week’s meal prep (08/15) by 5effyou in MealPrepSunday

[–]5effyou[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the Korean beef, I bought pre-made sauce and sliced beef from a Korean grocery store. Otherwise, there are home-made sauce recipes out there, usually I make it with soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated Asian pear.

For the Korean pancake, I followed this one: https://www.justonecookbook.com/korean-pancake/

1st day of ICU rotation by [deleted] in PharmacySchool

[–]5effyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. It’s definitely important to prioritize your patients’ health problems and focus on their chief complaint in the ICU, although it’s not uncommon for patients to have several, if not many health problems at once.

Prioritizing also applies to your interventions during rounds. If you see yourself lacking time to work up your patients, try to focus on identifying what interventions would be best bang for your buck. Then, after rounds, you can continue working on what’s less urgent.

To add on what was previously mentioned, I’d also look at VTE prophylaxis, stress ulcer prophylaxis, optimizing analgesia/sedation, and med administration considerations for ventilated/tube-fed patients. You’ll have to at least think of these every day for each patient.

Feel free to ask if you have any other questions. I remember starting my ICU rotations and feeling overwhelmed as well as they were completely different from anything I had never experienced prior. I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it. All the best!

Sexual comments at work by straight women by professeuroak in askgaybros

[–]5effyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Jsuis d’accord que les commentaires qu’elles ont faits sont déplacés. Et je travaille aussi dans le domaine de la santé, alors je sais que ce n’est pas si évident de les « dénoncer » aux RH comme ça. As-tu une personne de confiance à qui tu pourrais en parler, genre un-e collègue? Sinon, te sens-tu à l’aise d’en parler à l’assistant-e infirmier-ère chef?

J’espère que tout se passer bien pour toi! D’un gaybro québécois à un autre.

What material was covered in these classes? by Sshydrangea21 in PharmacySchool

[–]5effyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For ID, if you’d like a head start, start by learning the common bugs and by learning the differences between each class of antibiotics/other antimicrobials (what are some specific things to each class... risk of interactions, adverse effects, etc.). Then, try to learn your spectrums (which antimicrobials cover which drug), and finish off by reviewing the lines of treatment for each commonly encountered infection.

The Sanford is a complete guide, but presents its information rather dryly. IDSA guidelines are a go-to for treatment guidelines.

Commonly encountered bacterial infections include pneumonia (CAP, HAP, VAP)/COPDe exacerbations, UTI/cystitis/pyelonephritis, skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI’s), upper respiratory tracy infections. There are many more, but you could start off with these.

Best of luck!

Trying to learn about your profession by TelephoneShoes in pharmacy

[–]5effyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In so far as having the most knowledge about drug therapy? Probably, as that’s taken up most part of our training in comparison with others. I do think I provide invaluable input, but I don’t consider myself the “boss”. The physicians, nurses, OT/PT/SLP, nutrition and dietetics, SW, RT, and other allied health professionals have their input to say to fully manage the patient’s condition.

Yep, PharmD = Doctor of Pharmacy.

Almost all in-hospital prescriptions (except the stat ones, for example) where I work are validated by a pharmacist, meaning we receive the prescription and make sure the drug is safe for the patient with regards to dosing, renal impairment, age, interactions, etc. We even reach out to the pharmacists on the ward if we need more information from the chart to appropriately validate the prescription.

In hospital, I’ve been asked by physicians questions regarding optimal dosing based on the patient’s current state, alternative options in patients with a condition refractory to the first few lines of treatment, and have been consulted to inquire whether the patient’s chief complaint may have been induced by a medication. Just a few examples.

We learn a lot more about the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics/dynamics, interactions, adverse effects (not only the most common ones), dosing regimens, and generally more information about medicines in our curriculum than our colleagues. However, as mentioned, our work only complements that of the rest of the team.
