In real life, doctors have conversations with pharmacists all the time about prescriptions. This includes changing prescriptions so they are: covered by the patient's insurance, tolerated by other medications the patient is taking, and easy to administer by the patient. If the pharmacist is ever in doubt about filling a prescription, they always call the doctor and they discuss it over. Ultimately the doctor makes the final call by writing the actual prescription, but if there is ever a recommendation or dosage correction by the pharmacist they will absolutely take it into consideration. Important to note though that the doctor is the one who routinely follows up with patients and diagnoses side-effects, allergies, and whether or not the medication works on improving a patients condition. In medicine there are numerous reasons why a doctor will or will not prescribe one med over the other and a pharmacist does not have a patient's entire health history or the medical training to make the same judgement calls. But if there are ever doubts on either side they always call one another.
Pharmacists know more than people think. We erroneously see them as retail workers that just count pills behind the counter, but they have a degree in pharmacology. They study medicine and it's effects on the body, and many of them are Doctorates. Not as challenging work as being an MD, but still...kinda cool to see it examined for once.
Yep they’re a great resource as a a patient because they know how the drugs work and the potential side effects- they tend to enjoy educating patients. Also as a drug rep they’re helpful for the same reasons and can give insight into prescribing trends in the area as well as cost, insurance coverage and many other important topics
@@colinsmith484 actually a similar thing happened when my pharmicist helped to change the prescription to another drug that was covered under insurance. The doctor was obviously not offended... ;)

I used to work in a mental health practice and frequently observed our prescribing psychiatrists meet behind closed doors with really cute pharmaceutical reps, and then diagnose and prescribe the new medications that fit the new increase in diagnoses that they made following these meetings.
Doctors are just middlemen for the drug company’s, get more input and information from a pharmacist any day. Although pharmacists do like their graffiti.
Medicine is hard to keep up in. Most doctors don’t read drug trials and research about how to prescribe.

@Mighty Stonehaven so you're the only pharmacist in the world? if you don't get "reimbursed", no one does? by the way, typing in caps doesn't help with the emphasis, only makes you look like a tool.
If he owns the pharmacy he certainly knows which drugs offer the best profit margin- often it’s the older generic drug so the pharmacist may push that over a newer branded drug- no harm no foul if they’re similar but usually the newer is on the market because it has an advantage. As a rep the pharmacist can help me or hurt me- But honestly most all are super cool and will do what they can to help me get by drug filled. There’s enough sick people to go around and unfortunately that won’t change
Larry did the right thing getting involved in asking about the medication. The doctor did a poor job of exploring his options. A lot of people go "take this and don't bother me" and "he said this so I'll do this" instead of being involved in your health and not just some passive lab rat.

Not enough context to understand this clip − what happened at the Japanese restaurant?
The pharmacist gave me ASMR
Mozzarella pills?
Pharmacist gets % of the price.

@Mighty Stonehaven so you're the only pharmacist in the world? if you don't get "reimbursed", no one does? by the way, typing in caps doesn't help with the emphasis, only makes you look like a tool.
@Mighty Stonehaven I don't think you have a doctorate in shit, youre obviously in middle school so it's quite unlikely.
Mighty Stonehaven yeah whatever Dr. Jackass
If he owns the pharmacy he certainly knows which drugs offer the best profit margin- often it’s the older generic drug so the pharmacist may push that over a newer branded drug- no harm no foul if they’re similar but usually the newer is on the market because it has an advantage. As a rep the pharmacist can help me or hurt me- But honestly most all are super cool and will do what they can to help me get by drug filled. There’s enough sick people to go around and unfortunately that won’t change
Larry did the right thing getting involved in asking about the medication. The doctor did a poor job of exploring his options. A lot of people go "take this and don't bother me" and "he said this so I'll do this" instead of being involved in your health and not just some passive lab rat.
