@jamesmaskalyk @davidcarr333 I am aware

@Will_Nevers @davidcarr333 he wasn’t talking about doctors.

Shoppers drug mart billed Ontario 62 million for medication reviews. This is absurd. Clearly the enhanced role is being taken advantage of by pharmacists.

@MicieliA_MD @davidcarr333 @EmICUcanada Ask your nursing and pharmacy friends which one is easier to deal with

@davidcarr333 @EmICUcanada wonder if that matters. Literature says equivalent efficacy.

Go big. Go quick. Use keppra as second line. ⁦@EmICUcanada⁩

Everyone who picked Cincinnati in their survivor leagues right now

@DjokovicFan_ Was this the speech “you don’t give up do you ?”

One year ago, Novak Djokovic defeated Alcaraz at Cincinnati in the longest ATP best-of-three set final of all time. One of the greatest matches you will ever see.

@KashPrime @PharmacistMama You don’t own anything. Just like we don’t own medications. The patients do. Not sure why you needed to distinguish that. To be clear, we are on the same team.

But we own diagnosis. A skilled honed over thousands of hours seeing patients in clinical settings over many, many years, seeing many, many variations of the same thing. Being able to spot the kid who doesn't have a simple stomach flu, but advanced kidney failure likely to die in their sleep that night (a real recent case btw), as an example. I'm supportive of pharmacists gaining greater confidence and clinical experience treating minor ailments, and helping with some of the laborious mostly algorithmic risk factor and cancer screening and education that burdens GPs, but until our pharmacy colleagues are joining us on long clinical rotations, diagnosis should always remain under physician purview.

@SamQuinnCBS Curious. Why would the NBPA never let 40 mins games happen?

Purely from an enjoyment perspective, here's what I'd say: - 40-minute games? Yes. Way better. But the NBPA would never let it happen. - Live ball off the rim? Way better. All in. - No 3-in-the-key? Pass. We need 3-in-the-key.

@JMeddings Not sure that is the only reason ….

Because we knew there is a COI when it comes to dx, prescribing and making money from the prescription. So we've separated the job of MD from that of pharmacist. So we could trust the motives of the person making your dx. /5

I'm late to this story but did read it this morning in the G&M. I have some similar comments to others. And perhaps some other thoughts. 1. "A pharmacist can do 50% of what a family physician can do.." What a disgusting and misleading statement. /1

Can droxidopa help patients get off pressors? As a norepi prodrug, it may have an edge over our traditional agent of choice, midodrine. In our new multicenter study, we our experience adding droxidopa in 30 persistently hypotensive patients on pressors doi.org/10.1177/088506…

@raghu_venugopal @BonnieCrombie @ShamjiAdil An improvement. You didn’t blame or bash pharmacists this time.

If Ontario's Health Ministry funded more MD hours we could reduce wait times, see more patients and serve better. I'm not holding my breath. Ontario Conservatives instead choose to direct public funds to profiteers, not publicly run facilities. @BonnieCrombie @ShamjiAdil

@raghu_venugopal @OntariosDoctors I am gonna take a leap and say you get paid by tax dollar money as well 🫣

Pharmacist Watt below states people with headache are already "assessed on the aisles". If this is in fact true, why should Ontario Conservatives give taxpayers money go to profiteering corporations for a function pharmacists admit are already performing. @OntariosDoctors

@raghu_venugopal How many times have you prescribed medications without considering kinetics or pharmacodynamics. Drug interactions. Coverage. Volume of distribution. Protein binding.

@raghu_venugopal Dude. You have to stop. Why are you doing this.

Will your Ontario pharmacist "treating headache" consider and evaluate for subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial mass, vessel dissection, meningitis, intracranial bleed, glaucoma, temporal arteritis and intracranial hypertension? Or just net more public funds for Loblaw Ltd.?

@IAmMyron61 @alandrummond2 Perfect. I love people catching my mistakes. It improves patient safety. I hope it continues. I don’t love other HCP putting down teammates. Appreciate the comment.

Hey - I think I'm going to start dispensing and cut out the middleman and maybe start selling bananas, cosmetics and soft porn magazines in my waiting room.

@davidcarr333 @CTVToronto @raghu_venugopal I guess I was confused by the “we are not pharmacists” comment

@Will_Nevers @CTVToronto @raghu_venugopal Talking to Doug

'The docs don’t have a lack of customers': Ford defends plans for expansion of treatment at Ontario pharmacies. toronto.ctvnews.ca/the-docs-don-t…

@davidcarr333 @CTVToronto @raghu_venugopal Good to see some strong collaboration from our physician “friends”.

@CTVToronto We don’t have clients or customers. We have patients. We are not pharmacists. @raghu_venugopal

@raghu_venugopal @fordnation Again. I see you comment on the volume of EDs but yet you consistently put down your colleagues who are here to help you and the patients. Same team. Doctors are not the only ones who can dictate the healthcare system.

It’s not about the doctors Premier Ford - it’s about the patients. My sore throat patient had cancer as the cause - how is that going to get sorted at the pharmacy counter? @fordnation

@alandrummond2 Please just don’t throw us under the bus next time. Same team.

I think this is what it is all about - government misunderstanding (they aren't) and/or misrepresenting (they are) what ails the health care system and how to fix it. God Bless my pharmacist colleagues but they aren't going to fix or even help the system by treating pink eye.

@raghu_venugopal Hey man. You can’t have it both ways. What else. Do you propose? Do you work with pharmacists in the ED? Do you see them being inappropriate or being collegial and professional with their fellow healthcare providers ?

Some of my insomnia patients actually have depression and suicidality. You have to ask, probe, support, make a risk assessment and determine the next steps. Will that happen at a pharmacy?
