@marklewismd had a similar revelation
As I stand here with a fax in hand that denies one of my patients on chemo an antinausea drug which could get them through the American holiday weekend more tolerably & humanely, I realize that South Park is now a documentary:

Finally our profession, especially those in retail, will have a united voice and be heard. This is good for our profession and the patients we serve. pharmacyguild.org/

I guess their claim of "non-partisan, non-profit" doesn't preclude them from being in-bed with pharma companies. Who are we supposed to believe? @MedicalLetter

Yes @theNASEM received $19 million from the makers of OxyContin and yes @theNASEM inflated the prevalence of chronic pain by up to 500% but surely these observations are unrelated

How is asking a patient to wait a month or more for a drug acceptable to anyone? The PBMs and insurance companies get rich while the physicians, pharmacists, and other providers waste countless hours jumping through hoops. This system is royally messed up!

Wow. So pharmacists don’t know how to tell a patient’s age or ask if they are pregnant. And they don’t know how to manage drug interactions. Out of touch is an understatement.

Physicians and other prescribers need an unbiased resource so they aren't swayed into prescribing expensive brand name drugs and filling Pharma companies' pockets. They need The Medical Letter. secure.medicalletter.org/abo…

With continuing to put the right foot forward and spreading the messages about the dangers of vaping, we could stop this epidemic. Let’s change the tobacco age in the other 32 states! #globalChange
18 states and +475 localities have passed #Tobacco21 laws, covering over half the US population. It's an important step forward, but it must be part of a comprehensive strategy to reverse the youth e-cig epidemic that also includes banning the flavored products that lure kids.
So disappointing. A life-saving product that so many carry, but most never use (thankfully). Old drug, no new trials...so why the high cost? Oh right, because they can. reut.rs/2zsBDnl

Love this! Pharmacists make a difference everyday, but thanks to @JAMA_current the world will see exactly how it’s done!
