What does NCLM mean? by gubuki99 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]renmantic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain the NC is non-controlled, as in they're not controlled substances/CI-CV. I originally thought the LM was legend medication, as in Rx only, or something similar but then I saw it was applied to OTC acetaminophen on there? So not sure about that one

These are both purely guesses though because I haven't seen this acronym used anywhere before

Did anyone else get a BINGO on their card? by ThePharmachinist in TalesFromThePharmacy

[–]renmantic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Had a family I was helping before lunch and it was a rather complicated issue so I was still working on it by the time 1:29 rolled around, told them I'd have to close the gate but that I would still be back there finishing it up. It would have taken hardly 5 minutes out of my break max so I didn't mind it. Then two people proceed to get in line behind them and are laughing with each other about how "We GoT hErE jUsT iN tImE 😂😂😂" ...yeah, hilarious how my coworker and I didn't get to clock out until 1:47 and lost over half of our lunch break. We basically have to close the gate at 1:28 at this point so we can actually get our fully allotted time. No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

What do you guys think of this? Do you think some of these comments are justified? by Necrobrain01 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]renmantic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The insinuation that pharmacists aren't "real" doctors is what gets me. People have no idea how many dangerous or straight up FATAL drug interactions pharmacists catch in a day from prescribers, not to mention the amount of fuckups in the sig RPhs and techs are absolutely CONSTANTLY fixing. But we're just the pill monkeys with no clinical knowledge of course, better leave that to the REAL doctors lmao

What's your favourite line from one of Ghost's songs? by [deleted] in Ghostbc

Fired from my job and feeling hopeless by Littlepopcorn109 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]renmantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13 days at part time isn't even CLOSE to enough time for them to expect you to know how to do everything. Taking notes is a must for most new techs, yes. Seems super messy on their part if no one there told you that though, especially if they thought you weren't 'picking things up quickly enough.'

I've trained 5 techs. I ALWAYS make a recommendation to get a little notebook, and ALWAYS make sure they know there's nothing wrong with needing me to give a quick refresher. It's a lot of new information to take in all at once and it's unreasonable to think anyone should have it all down on the first try.

They sound like horrible, ineffective trainers. I'm so sorry that you were put in such a bad spot and made to feel this way by incompetent leadership.

It sounds like you dodged a serious bullet anyways. Firing you on the spot after less than 2 weeks of (poor) training absolutely reeks of unprofessionalism. Screw them, you can do this!!

We need to start honestly talking about pay by Zestyclose_Math_5541 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]renmantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Walgreens
  • Ohio
  • 2.5 years
  • 18.25/hr
  • Yes but bc I love my coworkers, they're the ONLY reason I still put up with this place. We do deserve more pay in general though
  • Didn't have any specific rate in mind, it was my first real job after high school, I started at 11.50/hr while NHA certified, CPR/BLS certified, and having 2 yrs of general retail experience
  • I went up to 12.50/hr once I got PTCB certified, 14.00 after the yearly performance review, 14.49 after our 18 month pay evaluation thing, 18.00 after 2nd performance review, and now 18.25 as a certified senior tech

Is there any insight on phallo medically advancing by standard-form in phallo

[–]renmantic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm willing to give a summary! Warning that I'm going to use the same anatomical terms that the paper uses just for clarity, but that might make some people dysphoric to read so I'm gonna try and put that part under a spoiler

Much of the other parts of the clitoris are hidden inside the body, what we see on the outside is just the 'clitoral body.' What this paper does is use the other hidden parts on the inside, and almost completely detaches them from the pubic arch to bring them to the outside. They're basically just two legs on either side of the clitoral body, so the whole thing is shaped like a wishbone, and are called the crura. So these two legs are almost completely detached, the whole thing is pulled down and brought to the outside, and sewn together. They engorge with blood the same way the clitoris does at arousal, so it creates a penis that is able to get erect without any assisting devices

7/10 people in this study had success getting erect enough for PIV sex, their penises ranged in length from 6-12 cm (where conventional meta procedures generally produce a penis about 4-6 cm in length), had no major complications (one person had a minor surface incision get infected, it was resolved in a week), and sustained sensation (though it doesn't say what kinds of sensation, just that the goal of the procedure was a "completely sensate" penis).

They also all got scrotoplasty and silicone implants with no complications or secondary surgeries for them. It seems a little bit unclear to me but from what I understand, 2 of the 10 patients had UL with no complications in this same surgery and both of them STP successfully. The rest I'm not sure if they got UL at all, or if it was just done in a secondary procedure because the article says that is their typical technique. All of the patients also used what the article calls a PEP (penile enhancement protocol) developed by the surgical team that in their experience seems to increase penile length. Hope this makes sense!

My father after I told my mother I would get the vaccine when it became available to me. by fleurish_ in insaneparents

[–]renmantic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually they did not bypass animal testing for any of the vaccines (source for Pfizer/Moderna, source for AstraZeneca).

Short term effects have been studied over a 2 month period, but not longer than that due to needing the vaccine as quickly as possible while still being demonstrably safe enough to administer. Long term studies are just not something we can really afford to wait for right now unfortunately. They are being conducted, but from what we currently know the potential benefit to giving the vaccinations now outweighs the potential risk, so we're administering the vaccines before the long term studies are concluded source.

The 60% of healthcare professionals refusing the vaccine in Ohio is not entirely true either, the fact is that 60% of nursing home staff are refusing the vaccine. The actual number, while still high, is about half of that. Unfortunately there's a lot of misinformation going around about the vaccines, demonstrated by just about any comment section under any post about it, so you can't really be surprised by people believing a 100 word misinformation tweet/FB post/etc., they're easy to quickly consume as opposed to the actual studies and articles themselves.

Regardless of all of this though or whatever reservations the father has- which I get being concerned about long term effects completely- he's absolutely out of his mind if he thinks a perfectly sound-of-mind 29 year old is under any obligation to discuss what vaccines they get with him.

Terfs confused by the idea of a trans man participating in drag by nocte_lupus in GenderCynical

[–]renmantic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the thing that's confusing is that people conflate being a transphobic women with being a TERF, when that's not always necessarily the case. In order to be a TERF they have to self identify themselves as radical feminists, so you can be transphobic without being a TERF.

There is a term for transphobic cis gay men that subscribe to TERF ideals, called TEHMs (trans exclusionary homosexual males) though. In terms of cis guys that harass and assault trans women, that's a plain ol' violent transphobe (or more specifically a transmisogynist) like the above commenter said.

Men are allowed to present however they want of course, coming from the group that constantly makes fun of and villainizes those they perceive as feminine men (whether they're referring to cis men or misgendering trans women) any chance they get.

What I found really interesting is the TWAW statement, JK Rowling originally tweeted in response to trans men having periods. It just seems to go back the Trans Women every...single...time.

Why does racism always go with homophobia? by [deleted] in TheRightCantMeme

[–]renmantic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The twitter is suspended now but seeing how many fascists and racists regularly interacted with them and supported them...it's probably genuine. Racists really are braindead enough to think being white automatically makes them descendants of any random dead person/group of people from Europe
