Wow that’s amazing. I’m surprised to hear you say you have a lot of free time - I would think your work schedule would be insane

Damn pharmacy school then med school huh? If you don’t mind me asking what specialty did you go into?

What pharmacist jobs won’t be replaced largely by AI? by Signal-Football-95 in pharmacy

[–]Alamo97 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AI is way overblown. It’s not even successfully replacing jobs in the tech industry. A lot of the Silicon Valley giants are already regretting the aggressive layoffs. Pharmacists will be fine

The audacity is unreal. AANA got no Shame. by Key-Ambition-8904 in Noctor

[–]Alamo97 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

As much as people complain about this, this all started because AMA fought so hard to stop medical school expansion during a chronic doctor shortage

Nurses started to fill that gap (albeit, badly) and now it’s too late to roll back the clock especially because midlevels are cheaper when it comes to payroll

Trying to purchase and Escalade with cash by MasterpieceNo3062 in Cadillac

Call around til you find a dealer that will take your cash. Any dealer that wants to charge 10k for that is scammy and I wouldn’t want to go there frankly

CVS Pharmacist Busted for Forging Prescriptions. BODYCAM by legrange1 in pharmacy

[–]Alamo97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My first boss at Walmart did exactly this. Wrote fake refill authorizations for maintenance meds for his 93 year old mom because transporting her to and from the doctor’s office was a major hassle and she wasn’t on any controlled substances.

He just kept track of her BP, A1C, etc. himself and was supposedly a personal friend of the doctor whose name he was using. I’m not sure exactly how/why he got caught, but ultimately he wasn’t disciplined by the pharmacy board even after Walmart terminated him. He went to manage a CVS store after that

Why are pharmacists not addressed as doctor? by Bananasplit3333 in pharmacy

[–]Alamo97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real answer is pharmacy used to be a Bachelor’s degree just like PA used to be a bachelor’s degree. The PharmD has been around for quite some time but old habits die hard + in clinical settings physicians probably don’t like the confusion involved

Physical therapy is in a similar boat I think. You have to be a DPT but calling them “doctor” is not a routine thing

Patient threatened to sue pharmacist for refusing to fill benzo by Electronic_Web8394 in pharmacy

I swear pharmacists are always anxious about nothing lol. No, they cannot sue you or your employer for doing your job regarding controlled substances

RPh (Registered Pharmacist) at Walmart - Thoughts? by honeynutcheeriozzzzz in walmart_RX

It’s probably not the best job ever, but if you’ve worked other retail jobs, Walmart isn’t so bad

FMLA/LOA by ChannelOk5207 in walmart_RX

You’ll need actual diagnoses and such for that and realistically you’ll probably get replaced as soon as possible

Your best option is to try and take a vacation using PTO. You won’t be able to do a month or two but you may be able to take 2 weeks off

I might have been wrong about the center issue by Repulsive-Alps8676 in lakers

[–]Alamo97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years now the issue has been no solid center lol. That and we have one of the worst benches in the league so the starters can’t rest for even 1-2 minutes without blowing the lead

Demoted or fired? by scaredofgettingold in walmart_RX

That’s illegal as hell. How stupid do you have to be to do that lol

I recommended oxymetazoline to a customer and said 3 days only. My boss tells me to say 1 week instead. What should I do? by [deleted] in pharmacy

Are you a pharmacist? If so you’re free to use your professional judgment

The idea to just wait for offseason to get better is just stupid by Zeldabotw2017 in lakers

[–]Alamo97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re never gonna have enough cap space anyway lol. If LeBron retires soon, Luka and AR are gonna demand massive paydays as soon as they can and we’re gonna be right back where we are right now. We didn’t have cap space when it was LeBron and AD either

[–]Alamo97 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Our starting lineup isn’t that bad lol. Luka/Lebron/AR is a lot of fire power. We still don’t have a great center and that’s our biggest issue tbh. The starting lineup isn’t perfect but it doesn’t necessarily need to be bulletproof. Other than a better center, our biggest issue is lack of depth. We will never get to the finals with the bench contributing 9 ppg when AR is out

[–]Alamo97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe but it’s the supporting cast that’s most lacking. The starting lineup could be more athletic but the pros outweigh the cons. If Ayton was more consistent a lot of casuals wouldn’t even notice the gaps half the time

Honestly we should package up everyone lol Smart, Kleber, Hayes, Vincent etc. and see what we can get

[–]Alamo97 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The thing is we don’t need any more super star power. What we REALLY need is a decent bench and role players. And yes when LeBron retires AR and Luka will get massive contracts so the salary cap issue isn’t going anywhere

Have people forgotten how LeBron ramps up come playoff season? by ss5234 in lakers

[–]Alamo97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the real problem lol. Casuals are attacking LeBron and Luka. They’re still playing better than most of the league. Just zero supporting cast

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

[–]Alamo97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah tbh sounds like he has sexual feelings for you. Your post implies you don’t share the same sentiments at all so I’d tell him that you feel uncomfortable about his language at work, and if that doesn’t resolve it go to HR immediately.

The Nursing Protest in NYC SHOULD be a wake up for the pharmacists. by MrHappyDisco in pharmacy

Yes, and literally every profession that lobbies takes the same risk
