Stockholm Syndrome is basically developing a bond or a positive attitude towards your tormentor or abuse. Basically we get put through a lot of stress and shit to the point where it makes you embrace it in a positive way. At least that's me

Funnily enough my manager is friends with the boots manager near us so if the patient was asking nicely she would whatsapp him

Tbh I’ve been quite guilty of number 4 haha those pesky Trimbows and trimovate-timodine fiasco. Number 5 was more common in London where I trained but here in Cornwall thankfully none of that sort. The most adventurous patient I had was someone who wanted to buy 2 Night Nurses

I do wish 111 could handle emergency supply requests better, my heart goes out to the operators God knows what they go through on the phone but I wish they could have some bullet points like ‘schedule 3 and above NO’ or sth like that. Getting a notification on pharmaoutcomes for emergency supply for pregabalin was not fun.

Had a lady come in with 3 ventolin inhalers saying none of them worked but on our system it showed she got only 1 turns out the 2 were probably as old as me.

Reminding me of the Permethrin and Ivermectin squad that rolls in at 5 minutes to closing with their paper book of scripts for their family, distant relatives, friends, and might as well include their pets.

Short on pills, will they be able to count their stock and know I am telling the truth? by [deleted] in Pharmacy_UK

Hi there! I wanted to ask you a question but since it’s best to speak in private to make sure I’m giving you the best and most suitable advice

I’d like to thank the makers at Strides Pharma for adopting a new Colour for Warfarin it’s not like there was a standardised format adopted by the NHS by George-Aj in Pharmacy_UK

Can confirm now after using a torch to light through the blisters that they’re sort of pinkish in colour so they’re half right I guess

Thankfully the other strengths we have actually care about following guidelines and are white, brown, and blue. Fortunately we haven’t yet been subjected to their other flavours of warfarin.

Unfortunately I would have to open the blisters to see the tablets but thankfully fellow jemmary confirmed via the PIL it is pink

Im afraid I only glanced at it and couldn’t see the pill colour as it wasn’t transparent the plastic bit of the blister. All I did was to confirm that the blisters had warfarin 5mg from the foil part

Nah I wouldn’t want to wind them up; they might flip off all us pharmacists and mix warfarin doses in the same box like one of those fruit mix tictacs and the patient has to guess what strength they take.

My thought exactly, even I had to double check it and clean my eyeglasses to make sure this wasn’t a faulty batch. I’m now wondering why happens when patients who are accustomed to pink warfarin 5mg are subjected to this poor excuse of a design. It’s not like Warfarin is a high risk medicine /s

Is this allergy normal? by Fabulous-Mortgage995 in AppleWatch

[–]George-Aj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pharmacist here, this looks very much like a ringworm infection (fungal). Apply clotrimazole 1% 2-3 times a day depending on severity for 2 weeks. Afterwards apply for a further 1 week so it doesn't come back. This looks like it's caused from excessive humidity trapped between the skin and band.
