One of the unsung front line heroes (and I know there are many) during this pandemic – before and beyond have been Community Pharmacists!
I was reflecting on that this week when our friendly neighbourhood Community Pharmacist (thanks C at CD Dunsmuir!) called me about our patient who required some help with her medications (can you say Special Authority?!). The patient had an active stomach ulcer which required a better medication and she could not afford it.
It took me 2 minutes to fill the e-form, then e-faxed and the rest is history!
Pharmacists do amazing work in front and behind the scenes (double checking medication dosages, any interactions with other medications and indications are appropriate)! They are truly patient advocates and so very important. They belong in the Blue Sky Family Medicine universe and movement!
Peace to the planet!
