Absolutely crazy. 2008-09-25T18:40:27.021+02:00 2008-09-25T18:40:27.021+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1798319&comment_id=31435133 PharmacistMike The only thing I hate about people knowing I am a pharmacist is strangers then asking me about illegal drugs as if that is my forte. However, if there is anyone that needs help I am always there. As Jacob said I tense too thinking someone is choking. At dinner if I suddenly stop mid-sentence and look over at another table my good friends know I am making sure someone is ok. I have held pressure everywhere from someone who kicked a boat prop in the Ohio River to a severely lacerated wrist from falling on a beer bottle in Costa Rica. I may not have the skills to help everyone but I am willing to die trying. 2008-09-25T06:31:22.955+02:00 2008-09-25T06:31:22.955+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1797361&comment_id=31416113 PharmacistMike I loved it when nexium came out. One of their original studies did not show significance to prilosec. The reason was in the study prilosec out-performed itself based on past experiences. The manufacturer nearly crapped themselves. How are they going to push the New Purple Pill? A side note, when Nexium launched they took the company reps to the Skydome in Toronto and had the Barenaked Ladies play. A great use of their some to be scam money. 2008-09-24T20:14:03.159+02:00 2008-09-24T20:14:03.159+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1796713&comment_id=31411920 PharmacistMike Just keep a list if these people and next time they come in for a cancer sore just recommend Annusol instead of Ambusol. That should help shrink their mouth up so that they can't talk so loud. 2008-09-24T18:26:46.889+02:00 2008-09-24T18:26:46.889+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1789175&comment_id=31349375 PharmacistMike I read the article but it doesn't appear to be a legal issue but a facility policy. I know my facility in Florida forbid the use of cameras in the medical center. I did sneak one in to take pictures of some unsafe pharmacy practices just to cover my a_s but I was sure to sneak it. 2008-09-22T15:11:34.692+02:00 2008-09-22T15:11:34.692+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1787268&comment_id=31330235 PharmacistMike "I am going to goat out on a limb and say this is a bad idea" 2008-09-21T18:55:19.357+02:00 2008-09-21T18:55:19.357+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1780020&comment_id=31228590 PharmacistMike Could Mr. Breakdancer be a member of the Jackass cast? They all seem to laugh like crazy when they hurt themselves. 2008-09-18T17:21:34.786+02:00 2008-09-18T17:21:34.786+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1776456&comment_id=31191837 PharmacistMike One issue is the risk for malignancies due to unnecessary CT scans. How can the government allow companies to sell a product/service that can lead to cancer? Oh, never mind, I forgot, we still sell cigarettes. 2008-09-17T16:09:14.692+02:00 2008-09-17T16:09:14.692+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1763394&comment_id=31056564 Anonymous Obama had a good response but I don't think just doubling money for cancer research is enough. It has to be increased in multiples. 2008-09-12T17:53:57.229+02:00 2008-09-12T17:53:57.229+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1759773&comment_id=31028767 PharmacistMike Thanks for bringing attention to the problems faced with student voting. This election is so critical for the future of the country and getting every vote to count is very important. It is a shame that students get caught in such a difficult situation. 2008-09-11T16:35:29.388+02:00 2008-09-11T16:35:29.388+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1746600&comment_id=30949715 PharmacistMike Thanks for bringing attention to Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and the ZERO tolerance for Prostate Cancer. 2008-09-10T23:23:23.657+02:00 2008-09-10T23:23:23.657+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1608936&comment_id=30470136 PharmacistMike I have worked in south Florida at medical centers offering cardiac surgery and I can tell you that I am sure Tenet deserved to pay the $31 million. I believe they may have even had to stop their open heart program for a while but don't legally hold me to that one. This is going to be a huge issue. For example, most guidelines for open heart surgery call for antibiotic prophylaxis with cefazolin unless there is a high MRSA rate. However, a high MRSA rate is never defined. Does this mean if cefazolin is used and the patient get infected with MRSA that the patient can sue? What if they use vancomycin but don't use prophylactic nasal bactroban? There is a mess a coming. 2008-08-20T06:28:40.244+02:00 2008-08-20T06:28:40.244+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=PharmacistMike&conv=1361080&comment_id=28134642 pharmacistmike Trying again 2008-06-28T15:35:04.113+02:00 2008-06-28T15:35:04.113+02:00
