Will be switching providers and will make sure that it’s a physical sim only.

Canadian telecom uselessness in all its glory. I accidentally deleted my @VirginPlus esim (didn’t know as the physical sim is still in the phone). Been passed around and one the phone over 3hrs and no one has the ability to send me a QR code to reinstall the sim when I’m in USA

[Albert @theModernRPh]

I can load eSIMs from other countries telecoms via a QR code from an app from the comfort of my home but no way for @VirginPlus @VirginPlusCare @Bell_Support @bell to do so for their own customers. Very inconvenient when the number is needed for 2FA

@horsepharmer @novacarerx @LeachKathleen @OCPInfo There is now political pressure for ODB to act.
I reported a pharmacy/pharmacist to ODB for improper reviews years ago, they sent a “liaison officer” in and nothing came of it.
It’s like the ones posted by the MDs now. ICS and antihistamine prescribed for sinus infection etc.

@Addleben In Ontario it’s still open formulary for ODB recipients.

@rstasyk @JarisSwidrovich And the president was also disciplined in Ontario regarding the billing hep C drugs per OCP website.

@sknitting26 @PharmacistMama One of the things ohip+ did right was covering the entire cost.

[Albert @theModernRPh]

$7M …. That’s a lot of fake Seroquel scripts.

@harsimranbansal Spent $15 for around 140km of added ‘range’ at Woodstock - so I agree with gas like prices. This would have been like $8 before the 4 tier prices.
Added 27.25kw. The chademo at the on route would have been cheaper but would have taken 15-20 min longer. Time=$

@melsmedicines I like to believe a good clinical decision is a good business decision.

[Albert @theModernRPh]

@TimHortons Used this yesterday and I love the idea. Completely contactless. Order placed though the app and scanned my card when I arrived.

@rutaona @imgrund Calling SDM as a ‘pharmacy’ is like saying Canadian Tire is a ‘tire shop/mechanic’

[Albert @theModernRPh]

@SeanSimpsonRPh 100%

As a pharmacist, sometimes I wished I went into a construction trade.

[Albert @theModernRPh]

@FrugalPharm Awesome. Love my dividend growth investments for beating inflation and tax efficiency. And the best part is that the high months repeats q3months.
March is a high month for me too. Around $1200 but February is only around $500.

As much as I like the @masks4allCanada respirators, I’ll be wearing my fit tested 3M N95 for a while longer for the selfish reason of protecting myself first.

Since the all for one, one for all mentality isn’t working. Maybe it should be me, myself and I?

[Albert @theModernRPh]

Since Ontario lifted it’s mask mandate on Monday. Amazing to see all employees at @HomeDepotCanada @lululemon @AWCanada wearing masks. The grocery store? I estimate less than half.

With the wastewater trends, don’t be surprised if there won’t be anyone left to work soon.

[Albert @theModernRPh]

@smashburgh Unfortunately, yes. You have to speak to a pharmacist before buying it though.

@grahamcmackenzi @MaryAnnePankhu1 Too bad only 1 episode of Vials was made. https://t.co/b3as9BAI2O

[Albert @theModernRPh]

Last year @CPhAAPhC changed pharmacy awareness month to pharmacy appreciation month.

It’s not the physical pharmacy, but rather the thousands of (wo)men behind the counter everyday. PharmacIST appreciation month is more correct. #PAM2022
