73. The working tool of a pharmacist
Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Sun, 02/17/2013 - 18:29Just as every professional has working tool/s, pharmacy too has a working tool. But this working tool is put to rust or its use is not taught in the pharma schools. It is such an inexpensive tool, moulding and sharpenning and skill fully using it should be taught in the Pharma schools. Contrary, it is suppressed or is not allowed to develop or its use is snubbed.
Pharmacists are not succeeding in the profession as they dont posess this tool or dont use it skillfully to be effective.

65. Pharmacists Vs other science graduates
Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Sat, 09/08/2012 - 21:20 Time and again I don't know wherever I go either I will get into evaluation of pharmacy graduates or graduates themselves would be narrating their job seeking plight to me - that makes me sad.
The experience of one M Pharm Biotechnology graduate (Mr Vishwanath) who met me yesterday and narrated his job seeking plight created pity on him and annoyance on the system.
62. PharmD and OP dispensary
Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Thu, 08/23/2012 - 08:56 I was the one who was very happy when I learnt that students are taught in hospital environment in PharmD course.
This has been one of my major observation and demand that culturing the students away from the hospital and community environment cannot yield healthy pharmacists supportive to community or hospital service.

Quote:
"For more than three decades, pharmacists with the federal Indian Health

55. Pharmacist - Boquets & Brickbats
Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Sun, 07/08/2012 - 14:50 What is myth and what is reality?
Whome to believe?
In India it is true that Pharmacist is the least cared health professional.
but we boast of having hundreds of pharmacy colleges and hundreds of foreign students studying pharmacy in these colleges
It is also true that we havn't produced even one community or hospital pharmacist worth its name.

Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Tue, 01/10/2012 - 10:43 Thanks to Shiva for a good opening topic for 2012. I wish you are not a smoker or at least a ex-smoker now!
Cigarette is one such product that does more harm when used in the right way!
Cigarette is the only product on the market that is perhaps exempted from disclosing the contents.
There are no quality parameters which you can use to cross check the quality.

40 Toxicity treatment - a challenge to the hospital
Submitted by Bhagavan P S on Thu, 10/13/2011 - 10:07 We encounter two distinct toxicity cases in the hospital:
Toxicity due to drugs
&
Toxicity due to poisons
Many a time these two though are generally looked upon as alike superficially the practitioners and academicians need to treat them differently.
The picture perhaps would be clear if I put it as:
'Toxic effect of a poison' & 'Toxic effect of a drug'
Drug Toxicity
Submitted by gangadhar hari on Sat, 10/01/2011 - 17:29 Hi friends, sorry for the delay in posting my blog. In this blog I have discussed about drug toxicity, various mechanisms involved in this process, and situations of drug toxicity.
