Will be switching providers and will make sure that it’s a physical sim only.

I can load eSIMs from other countries telecoms via a QR code from an app from the comfort of my home but no way for @VirginPlus @VirginPlusCare @Bell_Support @bell to do so for their own customers. Very inconvenient when the number is needed for 2FA

Canadian telecom uselessness in all its glory. I accidentally deleted my @VirginPlus esim (didn’t know as the physical sim is still in the phone). Been passed around and one the phone over 3hrs and no one has the ability to send me a QR code to reinstall the sim when I’m in USA

@horsepharmer @novacarerx @LeachKathleen @OCPInfo There is now political pressure for ODB to act. I reported a pharmacy/pharmacist to ODB for improper reviews years ago, they sent a “liaison officer” in and nothing came of it. It’s like the ones posted by the MDs now. ICS and antihistamine prescribed for sinus infection etc.

@novacarerx @LeachKathleen @OCPInfo ODB can possibly recapture inappropriately wasted dollars. What's critical is ensuring professional autonomy going forward. That's the base.

@Addleben In Ontario it’s still open formulary for ODB recipients.

@TheAmirImani Do you have to STAY on a sulfonylurea to have semaglutide covered? In AB you have to have had tried one, but no need to continue it on semaglutide.

@rstasyk @JarisSwidrovich And the president was also disciplined in Ontario regarding the billing hep C drugs per OCP website.

This hurts (me) in so many ways. Absolutely terrible. We got my mom’s daily tinzaparin (anticoagulant) injections dispensed from there and I was alarmed by the total cost of each Rx billed to ⁦⁦@GCIndigenous⁩ (but I’m unsure of the actual cost). thestarphoenix.com/news/local-new…

@sknitting26 @PharmacistMama One of the things ohip+ did right was covering the entire cost.

@PharmacistMama I agree we shouldn't be waiving - because it should be covered by ODB/ODSP/OW. (Prescriptions for everyone not on ODSP/OW/65+ should *also* be covered - trillium is an inadequate system, many people still struggle to afford meds with it or have a $$$ deductible)

$7M …. That’s a lot of fake Seroquel scripts. Brampton pharmacist scammed drug company $7,000,000 to pay for mansion and cars | inBrampton insauga.com/brampton-pharm…

@harsimranbansal Spent $15 for around 140km of added ‘range’ at Woodstock - so I agree with gas like prices. This would have been like $8 before the 4 tier prices. Added 27.25kw. The chademo at the on route would have been cheaper but would have taken 15-20 min longer. Time=$

Hey @elonmusk supercharging has gotten very expensive in the last few weeks. This is similar to filling up with gas at this point. Any idea why it’s so expensive all of a sudden?

@melsmedicines I like to believe a good clinical decision is a good business decision.

Patient care > business profits

@TimHortons Used this yesterday and I love the idea. Completely contactless. Order placed though the app and scanned my card when I arrived.

We’re testing something new at a handful of Tims restaurants! These automated drive-thru pickup points use a conveyor system for both on-site and mobile orders.

@rutaona @imgrund Calling SDM as a ‘pharmacy’ is like saying Canadian Tire is a ‘tire shop/mechanic’

@imgrund Shoppers drug mart is a pharmacy...aka healthcare setting... why the heck aren't people required to wear masks there?!

@SeanSimpsonRPh 100% As a pharmacist, sometimes I wished I went into a construction trade.

👇This. All. Day. Long. I’d go so far as to say a mandatory gap year to start learning a trade for the vast majority.

@FrugalPharm Awesome. Love my dividend growth investments for beating inflation and tax efficiency. And the best part is that the high months repeats q3months. March is a high month for me too. Around $1200 but February is only around $500.

As much as I like the @masks4allCanada respirators, I’ll be wearing my fit tested 3M N95 for a while longer for the selfish reason of protecting myself first. Since the all for one, one for all mentality isn’t working. Maybe it should be me, myself and I?

Since Ontario lifted it’s mask mandate on Monday. Amazing to see all employees at @HomeDepotCanada @lululemon @AWCanada wearing masks. The grocery store? I estimate less than half. With the wastewater trends, don’t be surprised if there won’t be anyone left to work soon.

@smashburgh Unfortunately, yes. You have to speak to a pharmacist before buying it though.

@theModernRPh You can get Tylenol 1 here without a prescription? I didn’t know that!

My pharmacist self in Canada is nerding out over the stuff you can get OTC

@grahamcmackenzi @MaryAnnePankhu1 Too bad only 1 episode of Vials was made. youtu.be/EER4PJToF6o

@MaryAnnePankhu1 People have no idea the material we could provide a tv show.

To the writers of TV shows about hospitals where people walk in directly off the street into the actual ER department directly to the doctor for medical help…just a correction; your show should be about pharmacy.

Last year @CPhAAPhC changed pharmacy awareness month to pharmacy appreciation month. It’s not the physical pharmacy, but rather the thousands of (wo)men behind the counter everyday. PharmacIST appreciation month is more correct. #PAM2022
