I had something similar. My dentist f... up my prescription and prescribe me 10 times the concentration of morphine I needed.
I would probably become an adict If I havent' being catch by the pharmacist

(I had a tooth rage , no idea how you call it in english but it's a massive infection inside the ttooth and you need to wait 7 day in tremandous pain with a lot antibio before operate it the tooth fully die on it's one. Mine didn't fully die which make she couldn't be anestesied and lead to an even more painfull situation)

Why don’t they just let us go back to the old days and send us to the pharmacy with our diagnosis and let the pharmacist give us the medication they think we should have.

You literally saved my life. I was taking 2 meds that were deadly together. One of your videos was talking about the two meds I was taking. I called my doctor right away, and I no longer take those meds together. I'll never unsubscribe from your channel. Thank you so much for these videos.

I learnt as a teenager doctors weren't to be trusted about medication. When in doubt ask are pharmacist. I kept having weird stuff happen everytime i took a medication but the doctor said it was fine. I asked a pharmacist about it the next time i was in there for a different script and they immediately said dont take that you're allergic

I was a certified pharmacy tech for 16 years. We got some stupid rxs, but these are ridiculous. I really hope you are making these up.

The funniest thing was when the clinic's patient program was down. The new providers had to be shown how to hand write rxs, especially c2s.

One time I got a call from the pharmacy. A doc of ours had written to take their albuterol rectally. Albuterol is an inhaler soooo 😭 the pharmacist, who was actually a friend of mine, was like "it does enter through one of the holes in the body, but I'm pretty sure that's the wrong one" 😂😭

stuff like DMARDs- Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs- (other that biologic - like Humira is) that GPs (general practitioners) prescribe in UK are usually requested from specialist/ rheumatologist etc, so I’m not surprised they might not be familiar, they just get letter stating “please continue patient on such-and-such medication of such dose” and follow directions.

In UK biologics are being prescribed by specialist - consultant/ such as rheumatologist if it’s arthritis or gastroenterologist if it’s Crohn, and delivered home by pharmacy (not the local pharmacy you get all other meds, they have separate pharmacy handling that).

Personally I have never seen over 10 years of my personal experience (and living in 4 different counties in UK) GP to prescribe or local pharmacy to handle biologics…


I’m guessing it’s for the best, cause daily Humira… 😵‍💫 will get very costly very quickly, not to mention health consequences… given that Humira - apart from established not being a tablet - tends to be dosed weekly or every other week… not daily 🫣🥴

As a medical biller, can confirm that providers make a TON of errors. So would you if you were as busy and stressed as our providers can be. BUT sometimes it’s very easy to tell when they’re phoning it in because they’re about to vacation or quit or especially when they’re about to retire. Doctors and nurses mentally decline as they age too, just like the rest of us. It takes teams of people in many departments to keep healthcare accurate and efficient!

I was once prescribed eye or ear drops for an in grown nail lol.

It was intentional though, as my podiatrist explained to me that because the ingrown nail was causing a local infection that kept the nail from healing, the antibiotic eye drops or whatever would get the medication into the infected wound better since it was a liquid. A cream wouldn’t get into the depth of the wound or under the nail. This also saved me from taking an oral antibiotic with stronger side effects, was more targeted than any sort of antibiotic cream, and cheap- and it worked!

I’m still sure the pain pharmacist was puzzled seeing the instructions on the order, though, and I think he even asked me about it to be sure that sounded right lol
