MGage12292: Is the Crow still in production?
B5CL Tap: was that a tv show?

more
MGage12292: yup
Usagi6: docs have a pdr to reference from
MGage12292: crows and ravens used to be my weekend fare

AngelMpath: caught an interaction with his blood thinner, pretty much saved
his
AngelMpath: life
Usagi6: yup, they know their stuff
B5CL Tap: my mom trusts pharmacists before she trusts her doctor
Usagi6: good for her
Usagi6: they catch the docs mistakes
AngelMpath: Tap, with good reason, ours make sure to take the time to
explain
AngelMpath: everything and make sure the computer info is always up to date
B5CL Tap: well she trusted them before computers, Angel<G>
AngelMpath: Usagi, ours catch an error almost once a day
Usagi6: hm, makes you wonder
B5CL Tap: She would ask their advice before calling the doctor
AngelMpath: I blame that on docs overbooking their patients
AngelMpath: I’ve worked in doctor’s office and I’ve seen that happen
B5CL Tap: Well they can be overwhelmed in HMO’s
AngelMpath: Yep, but most docs here are private or group practices, can’t
think of many HMO’s
Usagi6: yeah
AngelMpath: and the pharmacists know which docs to double check <g>
MGage12292: Hard to find good docs any more.
Usagi6: which a good thing
Usagi6: true
B5CL Tap: and one you feel comfortable with
AngelMpath: :::watching snow flurries accumulate:::::
