Idaho Board of Pharmacy about to disrupt relationship between patients, doctors
From the article:
The Idaho Board of Pharmacy is considering a proposed rule to allow pharmacists to unilaterally substitute complex specialty medications, known as biologics, with biosimilar drugs – without providing any notice or communication to the doctor.
As the mother of a child with doctor-diagnosed juvenile arthritis, I am disturbed at the thought of a pharmacist giving my daughter any medication other than that which her doctor has prescribed and without notifying the doctor.
Maybe we don’t need any electronic medical records… Pharmacist are now telling prescribers they are prescribing too much or the wrong pain meds for a patient.. without access to the pt’s records.. Apparently, the new PharmD degree included a sub specialty of MENTAL TELEPATHY… they can just look at a patient and read their minds and determine what is wrong with them and what medication(s) they need..
Maybe they can take some residency and be like some of the preachers on TV and lay hands on people and cause a spontaneous cure … The possibilities are endless !
