You just couldn't take it anymore
I know that feeling.
Nairalanders sabi provoke person ehn

I dont even know why Africans/Nigerians are carrying this US election matter on their head as if it will end Nigeria's current recession or solve other problems that Africa is facing.

We always concern ourselves with other people's business while we leave our own businesses unattended to.

I think it's better to always clarify things from the go. Based on your initial post, an average person would think Doctors run their prescribing decisions through the pharmacists most time.

I think you did not get what I wrote initially. I said the pharmacist CAN help the doctor choose the appropriate medication. I didn't say that the pharmacist ALWAYS helps the doctor to choose...
I think anyone who understands English should know that the two doesn't mean the same thing so don't worry that people will think less of doctors because of that statement

DollyParton1:
And yea I know of cases where only the pharmacists can give the go ahead on a doctors prescription (I actually thought you would use that as a point in your argument, but maybe you have not heard of it )

Regarding this last point of yours, I am aware of that. I just don't have all the time to spell out all the job descriptions of a pharmacist here.

Anyway, it's good to know that you are aware of most of the things I mentioned in my post.
Pardon my hasty conclusion on the status of your exposure.

Have a good day.

DollyParton1:
Y'all like to butter up things though.
Pharmacists help Doctors choose the appropriate drugs? Really

Are you actually a practicing doctor?

Whichever way you look at it, pharmacists determine to a large extent the drugs that the doctor prescribes.

Most of the drugs they prescribe are recommended to them by pharmacists who are medical reps of pharmaceutical companies.
All it takes is for the pharmacist to organise a Powerpoint presentation for the doctors, introduce a drug to them or tell them why they should prescribe a particular drug and the next day, you see them prescribing it.
For instance, a doctor may have been used to prescribing erythromycin for a particular illness but along the line a med. rep comes and tells him that azithromycin is a better choice since it is an improvement upon erythromycin with better pharmacokinetic profile and better tolerated, then he starts prescribing azithromycin. I have seen this times without number.
Now tell me, who influenced the doctor's choice? Is it not the pharmacist?

I have seen doctors asking the pharmacists opinion on the best drug to use for certain patients.
Also, the pharmacists influence to a large extent the content of essential medicine list in the hospital

There are also situations where pharmacists design the drug regimen for cancer treatment (chemotherapy) with the doctor.
You obviously haven't heard of that i guess.

One major problem with Nigerian healthcare system is lack of exposure among the members of the team and ignorance of the capabilities of each member of the team by the other members.
Our healthcare system needs to grow up!

Drama everywhere

babyfaceafrica:
not all doctors perform surgeries,and pharmacist prescribe drugs

Pharmacists can't prescribe for every disease.
Not because they don't know what to prescribe but because,treating an illness is more than just prescribing drugs.

There are a lot of things to consider in prescribing drugs. There could be co-morbidities which the pharmacists may not be aware of and these can only be revealed by investigations ordered by a doctor.
There are comobidities that are obvious but there are many which can only be revealed by detailed investigations that only a doctor is trained to do.
Some drugs need therapeutic drug monitoring which can only be carried out in the hospital under the supervision of a doctor with inputs from the pharmacist.

So the pharmacist has his limit in prescribing, not because he doesn't know what to prescribe, but because there are a lot more things to consider beside the obvious presenting symptoms of the patient.

Some diseases are not easy to diagnose because there could be up to five different diseases with similar symptoms. The pharmacist is trained to know symptoms of various diseases but he has his limits. This is where you need a doctor- the expert in diagnosis.
Once the doctor has confirmed the diagnosis, the pharmacist can help to choose the appropriate medication and help the patient to understand how his medication works, the possible side effects and how he should take the drugs for optimum result.

In all, healthcare is more of a symbiotic relationship between all the players involved.

I see war brewing on this thread.

Buhari is always expressing shock at one thing or the other.

It shows that he doesn't even know about a lot of things happening in the country under his watch.

That's a disturbing degree of 'cluelessness'.

This guy was involved in the rebellion that toppled "His Excellency President
for Life, Conqueror of the British Empire, Field Marshal Alhaji Dr. Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC."


But it seems Museveni himself want to be president for life too.
He's been in office since 1986!

I no understand this press release sef.

..

GEJ wasn't a perfect president but people still want to listen to him because he makes more sense than the president we have now.

A lot of people here only know about jumia and konga when you talk about online shopping.

And some people are even afraid of being cheated.
It means these people cannot do oversea online shopping from Chinese and american stores.

You need to be able to develop trust in the seller before placing an order, if you can't trust the seller, then online shopping is not for you because you will need to pay for the product upfront before it is shipped to you.

And trust me, you tend to get the best deals online (I am not talking about Nigerian stores!)

My people, I present to you....
