Does Pharmacists or MD's have more power when it comes time to prescribe medicine?

I know pharmacists fill presriptions %26amp; know about all the different medicines. I also know that MD's, DDS's, etc can give out prescriptions for medicines. Is it true that no Dr can give out medication without first checking with a pharmacist to make sure its OK to prescribe it to the patient? Is it true that a pharmacist can call a Dr %26amp; tell them the medicine they prescribed is the wrong one %26amp; tell the Dr what type must be given for the patient %26amp; that the Dr must listen? Is it true that pharmacists go to school 2 years longer than any Dr? Who chooses what medicine can be treated with, the Dr or pharmacist? I'm asking because I was told that pharmcists go to school 2 years longer than Drs %26amp; that Drs can only prescribe what the pharmacist says to %26amp; ONLY pharmacists can decide what type of medicine one can recieve? Was told if a Dr give out a trial %26amp; one has any health problem or reaction with another med they can sue for the MD not checking with the pharmacist first? Is all this true?

Not sure where you got this information...but it's not right. Physicians write for medications after consultation and diagnosis of a patient. The pharmacist is the "watch dog"....making sure the proper medication is prescribed (Many medications may look or sound alike something else. Plus many physicians have handwriting that is hard to read.) and at the correct dose. If a pharmacist thinks something is amiss, they will consult with the physician. Also, depending on some prescription insurance plans, a pharmacist may make a suggestion of a therapeutic equivalent of a drug if the drug prescribed is not covered by the person's insurance plan.





As far as schooling goes, I believe a PharmD today is 6 years. Medical school is 4 years undergrad, followed by 3 years of medical school, followed by a residency program (3 years for pediatric residencies - not sure what it is exactly for other specialties).





You source is a little off.
Reply:None of this is true.





A Pharmacist can refuse to fill a prescription for various reasons (suspected forgery, worry about the welfare of the patient, etc.) But the Pharmacist cannot tell a doctor which drugs they can or cannot write for. Pharmacists also do not go to school longer than doctors.





Pharmacists will call a doctor if they think that there is a mistake on a script (it happens, even to me.) The doctor will then usually fix the problem.
Reply:sorry but you were misinformed. pharmacists do NOT go to school 2 years more than doctors.





in certain hospital settings, pharmacies have been assigned the role of "double-checking" a physician's orders, so they may in fact call a doctor to change his medication order if there is a reason to do so (ie: overlooked allergy or medication interaction which the doctor didn't realize). sometimes the pharmacists will also try to substitute a cheaper alternative but if the doctor can justify why the patient needs the more expensive drug, they usually can get what they order.
Reply:When it comes to prescription, Doctors do the prescribing and Pharmacist do the filling of the prescription. A pharmacist cannot overide a doctor. A pharmacist may make a suggestion to a doctor if he/she suspects that the doctor made a mistake but eventually one needs to be a medical doctor in order to prescribe. Physician Assistants can also write some prescription but there is a limit to what medications they can prescribe. Medical doctors go to 4 years of Medical school, first two years are basic science education (includes anatomy, biochem, pharmacology, pathology, histology, microbiology, immunology, physiology, neuro, etc) and third and fourth years are clerkships i.e. rotations to different medical school affiliated hospitals for training in different fields like internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry, family medicine, etc. After receiving MD, which includes passing USMLE step 1 (end of 2nd year) and USMLE step 2 (end of 3rd year), one goes to residency for speciality training. Residency training can range from 3 years for Family Pratice to 7 years for Neurosurgery. Most residency programs tend to be 4 years long. One needs to pass USMLE step 3 during the residency to be eligible to receive license to practice that particular speciality at the end of the residency. So by the time we are done, we usually have lost our hair and teeth and we are bankrupt. This is why a lot of doctors look like homeless people (Sorry can't resist making a joke :-))
Reply:Unfortunately, situations you describe occasionally happen. Ideally, the primary concern of both the MD and the pharmacist is the welfare of the patient, not who has the most power. A reputable physician will do his or her best to properly diagnose and prescribe. A reputable pharmacist will discuss any discrepancies with the prescribing physician before filling a prescription he or she questions, but yes, can refuse to fill a prescription he / she feels to be erroneous.





Health care suffers when we obsess about power.

Can you rank these degrees?

In the order of most respected medical fields or most worthy initials to have after your name?





Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO)


Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine (DC)


Doctor of Medicine (MD)


Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS)


Doctor of Podiatry (PM)


Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD)


Doctor of Optometry (OD)


Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in medical/dental field





Thanks

Can you rank these degrees?
These rankings are subjective and based solely upon my respect for their fields. I would not have a DC ranked anywhere close to number 7, though. I would rank it far below many other professions, but you did not ask about that.





1. DO;


2. MD;


3. PM;


4. DDS;


5. OD;


6. PHD;


7. PHARMD; and,


8. DC
Reply:DO

Reply:Hmmm, this is purely subjective, but I'll give it a shot:





1) MD


2) DO


3) DDS


4) OD


5) PM


6) DC


7) PharmD


8) PhD
Reply:MD, DO, OD, DDS, PharmD, PM, PHD and DC are tied at the bottom.





I have gotten some relief from Chiropractors, but I have also dealt with some charletans.





Regardless, the amount of time in school and the broad applicability of the discipline is why I ordered them the way I did.

This is how I feel about them. I'm earning my MD degree right now, I'm a med student. PhD is something I would want to be someday, but there is a lot of work to be able to do that. DDS requires dental school and PharmD a degree in pharmacy, which are also very hard schools. PM and OD, are degrees that we in Europe don't have. As I can see, there is special schools in US and Canada for this medical fields. So, I wouldn't compare anything to medical school and I will rank them lower than MD. And about DO and DC. Those aren't real doctors. And they very often do more damage, so MD's must fix what they messed up.

ON Pokemon Pearl/Diamond?

is there a way to get all the begginnner pokemon besides gettting both games cause i dont want get 2 ds and pearl and diamond oh and i dont have any friends or relatives who has the dds and game /sigh

ON Pokemon Pearl/Diamond?
yea. u can trade them with people over wi fi. if u get one then i can trade you cause i have them. Or i think that if you complete the dex u can get them. Also try using an action replay cheat thingy
Reply:get a ditto and have it mate with your starting pokemon and trade the new pokemon for the other peoples starting pokemon on wifi
Reply:yea you could use a usb router to trade with others around the world for lv 1 hatched egg starters (thats what i did) and then you can train them to have a very powerful team
Reply:wifi is like wireless hook up so u can battle some one without linking your ds
Reply:If you have a friend who's willing to give you one or hatch one from an egg for you then that's pretty much it.


Me and my brothers set up a system where when we get a new game we get one starter pokemon, trade it to the other person, reset, get another starter pokemon, trade it to the other person, reset, get the final starter pokemon, and get the other to back from the other person. But that only works if you're willing to reset your file over and over again
Reply:You could of course buy an Action Replay for DS and then use codes for encountering pokemon. It should cost you about 31 bucks if you buy it trough http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-1yzp...





Just search for Action Replay DS

Save multiple files in photoshop cs?

i open one image that is in folder where are about 2000 image files (for me dds texture files)


i edited that image and i want to copy it to all images (all must be exact, like clones)


please help

Save multiple files in photoshop cs?
Use the Batch processing tool (I think it's in the Edit menu somewhere). First record your copy or whatever you want to do to all pics, then stop the recording. Then use batch editor to locate your 2000 image folder and set it to what you just recorded. I have CS2, but I am almost positive you have it as well.
