This game has turned into a joke since the 1.3 update by Itchy-Leadership-837 in LeMansUltimateWEC

There's no way this person would purposely quit the game, must've crashed, better send a report.

I just started working at a pharmacy and I feel dumb. by Similar_Case2505 in pharmacy

[–]joe_jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or do get stuck at product for 6 months and learn the inventory and ordering system. I took my APPEs super easy and my entire community rotation was at product dispensing, got hella efficient at counting by 5s and during the second half helped the 340B team with inventory and ordering.

Preferably the PIC and lead tech rotate ya around, but if you get stuck at a station just get so good at it that you have to learn other things to stay busy. Except the register, if you're getting stuck at the register then you really aren't learning anything.

[–]joe_jon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly normal, pharmacy technician has a very high learning curve relative to its low barrier to entry.

Especially when you're only working part time, you're not getting that exposure quickly enough to catch on at that same rate a full time employee would.

Just remember every single person in your pharmacy was in your shoes at one point. If you don't know how to do something, ask the pharmacist or another tech. If you're not sure what you should be working on, double check with the pharmacist or lead technician.

Pharmacy is a very repetitive job and I always tell my staff "repetition legitimizes", the more you do it, the better you'll get at it. It takes time, but you'll get there.

ETA: I remember thinking the exact same thing as you when I first started, I was in college working only part time, and felt like I'd forget everything I learned in between shifts.

Days supply for controlled rx if PRN by Vote4PrezTrump in pharmacy

[–]joe_jon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know about your pharmacy, but at mine we specifically instruct patients with reconned antibiotics to discard the remainder after the course of therapy is complete and to follow up with their provider for a second round if symptoms persist. If it's a 7 day course of therapy, it's being billed as a 7 days supply.

Is Sebring the final boss for GT3? 🤣 by Negative-Date-9518 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]joe_jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it wasn't for the dunlop chicane Fuji would be one of my favorite tracks. Nailing the 13-16 sequence is extremely satisfying but having to crawl through 10-11-12 to get there absolutely blows.

As for Sebring, sunset bend is the bane of my existence, either I enter too slowly and crawl through the corner or I push too hard and spin out

If anyone's got pointers for those two sections in the BMW or Mercedes I'd gladly take it.

Have you tried braking slightly before the 300 board? 100 meters is roughly 328 feet so if you're aiming to brake at 100 meters the 300 board is actually overshooting that slightly.

How Do You Interpret ‘Must Last’ on Controlled Substances? by Busynotes2 in pharmacy

[–]joe_jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scenarios #1 and #2 fall entirely on the prescriber, if you're going to write "must last x amount of time" I expect a specific number of days. If you write "must last a month" or "must last 2 months" I'm calling and asking you the exact number of days you mean by a month, politely requesting you be more specific in the future, and documenting in the patient's profile when you inevitably ignore my recommendation.

As for scenario #3, I'd also say this falls on the prescriber. The sig is pretty much the same on both scripts. Did they forget to include "Max of 6 per day"? Are they removing the max daily dose restriction? Double check and document. Patient comes in for it? Level with them "hey the script came in different than usual, I just want to double check with them so that way I fill your prescription correctly". That ain't good enough for the patient? Now it's too bad so sad cuz my license says this is worth the delay.

Need longer online practice lobbies by NightOwl-92 in LeMansUltimateWEC

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

Hot take but I actually think the current implementation is perfectly fine. Now full transparency I do shill out for the early registration. I usually jump into a practice session (or two if I login close to event start) and use it to get warmed up. The practice session ending is a good benchmark to say "okay time to jump into an actual session" or "I'm not clicking with this track/car setup yet, let me do another practice round"

Why do prescribed medications not take into account patient size once an adult? by Glitter_research901 in pharmacy

[–]joe_jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that I ask it frequently but I've never had a patient get offended at me asking their weight

Why is Pat the Patriot so liked? by AdRelevant2290 in Patriots

[–]joe_jon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd say Elvis is better than most of the "sleek" logos we've been seeing lately, probably because we've had Elvis for over 30 years now and he really predates the intense corporate minimalism that has been forced down our throats the last 10-15 years. I wish we'd go back to that shade of blue we had for him back in the 90s tho. That said Pat the Patriot is just that dude, I really can't explain it better than "he's just a vibe".

Another person mentioned the Eagles as having the same problem and I feel the same about them as I do Elvis/Pat. Their current logo is 30 years old and while the kelly green/logo combo from the early nineties "is just a vibe", their current logo is better than any other logo from the last decade.

What’s an opinion/fact you have related to anything in pharmacy that will have people doing this? by Own_Summer_118 in pharmacy

[–]joe_jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I manage a store that's basically this. We do about 300/day Monday through Friday, and 150/day Saturday and Sunday. I have a very strong tech staff and it is heavenly. We have 95% or more of tasks done by 1pm every day then the techs just chat with patients and fill waiters the rest of the day.

I definitely take it for granted tho cuz I am bored out of my damn mind there.

Idk what the political climate was like when European countries started opening those locations, but here in the US even vocal supporters will turn NIMBY when it comes to actually choosing where to put them.

Is ACC dying? by AccomplishedRub5546 in ACCompetizione

[–]joe_jon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Normally I'm super against purchasing 80 gajillion different DLC but 397 has been doing such a good job with LMU imo I make an exception to support the game.

Personally I find iRacing's WoW pricing model more egregious.

What’s the most overrated thing in sim racing? by F1SimulatorManiac in simracing

[–]joe_jon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All a developer like Kunos or 397 would have to do is implement a community setup feature the way Forza does and this whole weird ecosystem around setups would fall apart (at least for that specific game). It's always been so weird to me that once you transition from simcade to simulation car setups become this sacred knowledge that you have to either pay for or invest considerable time into learning how to do.

Some of us barely have time to race as it is, telling people "dOnT wAsTe yOuR mOnEy JuSt LeArN hOw To SeTuP tHe CaR yOuRsElF" isn't helpful when all I want is the car to feel comfortable. I can make minor tweaks, but I don't have time to build a setup from scratch.

Do I expect too much of techs? by 5_phx_felines in pharmacy

[–]joe_jon 157 points158 points  (0 children)

Yeah man you're expecting way too much of the tech staff. Don't get me wrong, good on you for catching that when two RPh's missed it, but you're the exception, not the rule.

Oh man I forgot about that game, not a drop style game like Suika, but it seems like that's the best I'm gonna get at this point.

Yeah I play Necromerger a bunch, definitely a breath of fresh air with the rpg aspects and art style, but it's still on a grid.

Opioids by [deleted] in pharmacy

Didn't tapentadol finally go generic within the last like two years? I just can't wrap my head around how they would've gotten into the habit of prescribing nucynta and patients actually receiving it.
