@HAHayatu If you see some of ur take on PO now and check the ones before 2023, u will laugh at yourself ๐๐. Nobody in his right senses will take ur opinion on PO and politics seriously ๐๐๐.
Go and check ur analysis before 2023 general election and come back๐๐๐คฃ๐
I am not going to be explaining how a symptom like sore throat can present. To a market woman, I will gladly break it down. But to you, it is unnecessary.
What I am against is the subtle jab you think you can throw at pharmacists, which is outright wrong. Very unbefitting of you.
If you want to express your usual contempt for a sister profession like pharmacy, at least use a stronger example. Use emergency conditions. Use surgical conditions. Use complex medical conditions with unclear referral pathways.
Not sore throat.
It is very funny that you think a patient must walk into a hospital to see a physician as the first stop for a sore throat. If they do, fine. If they come to the pharmacy first, also fine.
And I can say this with my full chest as a community pharmacist: in many sore throat cases, the same physicians you are invoking are essentially doing symptom assessment, ruling out red flags, treating, and moving on.
So what exactly is so outrageous about a pharmacist being the first point of care for that same complaint?
How many sore throat cases actually progress to anything beyond uncomplicated self-limiting illness that a pharmacist cannot safely screen and manage or appropriately refer?
Give the data, at least let us deal in data.
This your tweet is unbefitting.
