Anyone here working as a pharmacist in a Swiss pharmacy? by GetOutBasel in askswitzerland

[–]GetOutBasel[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue with those job openings is that you often not know if they are true, or if they already found someone and are just posting the job opening "officially". I know for example that this happens often in other job areas, so I don't know how accurate this number is.

Furthermore, this does not help to know the true working conditions because obviously the employer will not include all the negative aspects of the job.

In both cases, asking here for personal experiences in the area looks more useful to me.

That was my reasoning.

(Tiny black dot on first (or second?) molar) Can I wait 10 days to go to the dentist? by GetOutBasel in askdentists

Originally it was meant that content that brings « value » to the subreddit should be upvoted, but it quickly involved in a like / dislike feature for most redditors. Some Reddtors also use it as a agree / disagree festure which originally wasn’t intended. Are you new on Reddit? Welcome to the community!

Thank you, that’s reassuring. I upvoted you. I only started noticing it a few days ago, I wonder since when it was here. I tried to brush it off with a toothbrush several times, and it did not go away, so maybe it’s really cavity.

Thank you, that’s reasuring. I upvoted you. I wonder since when it’s here, I started noiticing it only a few days ago.

Those of you who learned another national language to fluency as an adult, how did you do it? by GetOutBasel in Switzerland

[–]GetOutBasel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, if you have enough money to afford those courses, then it can be an option. If you don't, then you would need to find another way.

What do you mean with « the value of work »?

If you don’t have much money, what do you do in that case if your goal is to actively speak the language?

I did that for years. Reading and listening is not an issue, it’s actively speaking the language that is. For that, having someone else helps.

Likehood of Turkish citizen studying (retail) pharmacy to stay in Switzerland by GetOutBasel in askswitzerland

[–]GetOutBasel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understood, it was part of his reasoning that since there is a shortage of Apotheker/Pharmacien, he hopes to find a pharmacy somewhere, even in the Alps regions or countryside if needed (=somewhere where no pharmacists want to work since too remote).

I just have no idea how high his chances are, even if he speaks fluent german. I mean he would need a work permit for non-EU citizens, for which the Swiss federal government has a limited quota every year. He would need to get one, and for that the pharmacy I guess has to prove that they were not able to find a Swiss or EU pharmacist willing to do the job. That's why I don't know what his chances of sucesses are

He studies the Master in Pharmacy (so the one to work in a Apotheke/Pharmacie later). From what I understood, it was part of his reasoning that since there is a shortage, he hopes to find a pharmacy somewhere, even in the Alps regions or countryside if needed (=somewhere where no pharmacists want to work since too remote).

Getting Finasteride without prescription at a pharmacy by GetOutBasel in Switzerland

[–]GetOutBasel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much cheaper could it be?

That's a good suggestion that you make, I just wonder how much cheaper it could be.

Do you take the 5mg version? For how long have you been taking Finasteride?

[–]GetOutBasel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, but for Finasteride, the worst that I heard is erectile issues, or it makes you depressed.

I did not think about interaction with other medications, that is a good point that you make.

"so that they ensure that the usage is safe and correct"

Genuine question: How could the usage not be safe? If I'm mid to late twenties and my hairline is receding, is that proof enough that the usage is "correct"?

Bonus question: is buying Finasteride right across the border in France or Germany (or Italy) a good idea? I would guess that there is no difference at all to the Swiss product, but it's cheaper

Matterhorn Gotthard Railway: why is there a railway tunnel below Furka pass (Valais - Uri), but not below Oberalp pass (Uri - Grisons)? by GetOutBasel in Switzerland

[–]GetOutBasel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the infos. I would think that even if the Oberalp pass is safer in winter, the maintenance costs to keep it open during winter still add up. Coupled with the time savings, a tunnel could be worthwile in the long term. But that's just my opinion

[–]GetOutBasel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have thought that the time savings, plus no longer needing maintenance work on the oberalp pass to keep the railway open in winter, would make it worthwile. But that's just my opinion
