Context for some of the less obvious screw-ups for any non-medical peeps - - Creatinine is a measure of kidney function, this patient has a kidney injury and NSAID's like ketorolac can cause/worsen kidney injuries - Hydralazine is for blood pressure, hydroxyzine is for itching (everyone gets these confused at some point) - Warfarin is kind of an old school blood thinner (but still pretty common) that can be a pain to manage/keep at appropriate levels because it requires regular follow-up visits and lab checks.

I had about ten orders to write and was rushed because they HAD to be in the pharmacy before 1:00 PM. I had just finished and was wrapping up to go home when the Pharmacy called. Damn it! “Hey, Wayne, Pharmacy. Did you mean to write for one unit of Norcuron per cc on the HAL for pt, ____?” “What? No, of course not. The patient is on the floor and unintubated. I did want a unit of heparin per cc in the solution, though.” “Thought so, but I wanted to let you know. I’ll make the changes” Holy crap! Saved my patient’s life and my career, all in one phone call! For the non-medical: 1) Norcuron is a paralytic agent that will make the patient stop breathing. 2) Norcuron isn’t measured in units.

I audit medical records for preventive care and one of the things we look for is proper medication reconciliation after a hospitalization. It's sadly true how many of these are done poorly and it is often due to multiple providers not sharing one record or a non-prescribing care giver (like an RN, LPN, or MA) doing the med rec without the doctor signing off that they checked it, too. In most industries, it's best to have someone double checking your work. We're only human. Thank you to the pharmacists and their software that make it clear and easy to see when a med rec was completed!

Hysterical... especially the last scenario! I ran an anticoagulation clinic for years and managed warfarin for lots of surgeons during the perioperative period. Like Ortho Bro they just wanted to operate and were happy to let me watch the bleeding and clotting risks. Actually, I really enjoyed our interactions and felt privileged to be part of the team.

As a former hospital pharmacist now outpatient clinic pharmacist, everything about this is spot on. The phone never stops ringing, and every few minutes there's always an intervention that needs doing. To the point where, as a low social energy person I want zero human interaction after clocking out from work.

I watch my pharmacist when I pick up a prescription. The phone has about a 20' cord on it so he can walk to every station in the pharmacy. He continues talking as he gathers meds to fill prescriptions. I'm starting to think the phone is actually attached to his ear. ☎️🤕 I used to work at a call center and obviously spent the entire day on the phone!🗣️ By the end of the day we would have 'cauliflower ear'! The pharmacist is the unsung hero and saves lives every day! They're the best source for information about any meds!💊 ⚖️ Who else in medicine can talk on the phone, carry on a conversation with the assistant and quote instructions to a customer all at the same time?!? 🤓

These are great, as they pretty respectful of the specialities while poking fun at them. They even ring true for those of us who primarily deal with healthcare as patients. Mad respect for those pharmacists. They are crazy busy, and I always ask them to check my scripts. On the very few occasisons they made a change on a written script I had, they've never thrown shade at the docs. However, they do appreciate that we know their skills with medication. One of the things I particularly liked about living overseas (Korea and Germany) were the increased latitudes given to pharmacists to prescribe meds. Pharmacists have to know do much, and they can be great healthcare providers, when empowered.

The hospital pharmacist was the absolute BEST when Infectious Disease ordered a continuation of vancomycin because they "couldn't be sure it was the vancomycin" that caused the adverse reaction after surgery. Bug Bro got his second dose, but the hospital pharmacist made sure that the nurses knew an allergic reaction was coming so they could prepare accordingly.

This is gold. I have heard stories from my pharmacist sister-in-law (works at a hospital, maybe moved up the chain just enough to deal with other headaches). The warfarin bit also was priceless. I know enough about it from my dad being on it, but he is also a doctor and heard a story that makes me think it applies to ALL surgeons. (In short, he knew of someone who needed a surgery through a mutual friend, and the surgery team was wise enough not to operate with him on it, but did not realize that the chances of a clot forming from not taking it for a few days are small and in his case, worth the risk.)
