Runs around!!! The pharmacy!!!!
#🌸 minminrambles#something something THE PHARMACY AS A MORE ACCESSIBLE DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!#Because asking ur pharmacist if ur two meds interact is often easier than waiting months for appointments with a heart doctor. For example.#I MAYYYYY be biased. But I think retail pharmacy is an incredibly important facet of medicine.#A medical professional that isn’t blocked off by the queues of appointments and insurance and and and. It is a possibility to go ask the#-pharmacist for a medical opinion. Just as a passing thing.#I should words this all better but what I mean is—#Most people don’t… have the time and such to make appointments with doctors and specialists.#AND doctors and specialists are often booked far out into the future.#Not that it is their fault in the slightest— they are understaffed. Underhired. They don’t have enough resources.#And while pharmacists aren’t going to have the same knowledge as these people— they are a start in whatever process the patient needs.#You can go up to the counter and quickly ask— they can point you to the right direction.#Pharmacies have SO much of their own issues— understaffing also. Being commercialized like retail instead of medicine.#But…! I love pharmacy. I want to be someone who makes medicine more accessible.#I’m not going to have all the knowledge. But I want to offer what I can. And point people towards others who can help.#I want to get to know local doctors!!!#Because there have been times where my pharmacist boss has been asked ‘hey do u know a dermatologist?’#Etc etc#And I live nearby so I know a little of some doctors who are around— And I want to offer that when I’m a pharmacist too. Even if I don’t#-live at my workplace.#ANYWAY im rambling. Ill get back to my homeowrks
