Hi @LSBU. Remember when I emailed you 3 years ago about your new pharmacist lecturer? About how he repeatedly sexually harassed me? While at work and over text? No?
Well he's still employed by you, and you've finally put his photo up, so let me remind you 🧵
#MeToo

This is just a FRACTION of what he would say to me. A tiny sliver. I have over SIXTY PAGES of these screenshots. /2
And before you tell me that I should have said 'no' or 'stop it', I did /3

Jason definitely struck a nerve for many of the #PharmEd & #TwitteRx folks. This is something we’ve discussed quite a bit in Maryland, but it sounds like a larger @ASHPOfficial / @ACCP task force is needed. A few thoughts… (🧵1/10)
1st: I am very proud to be a #pharmacist & love mentoring pharmacy students & residents on research projects every year…but…the large majority of PharmD grads *do not* have the knowledge/skills to *lead* a research project. We have to acknowledge that. (2/10)
2nd: (Trigger Warning ⚠️) A decent number of faculty members & clinicians are not strong research mentors. Even a faculty member with a PhD can struggle mentoring residents, because mentoring is a skill that needs development - but we just expect it as a given. (3/10)

🚨 I'm getting reports from pharmacists across #Texas -they are being directed to not fill prescriptions for misoprostol, mifepristone, or methotrexate until they verify that the meds are not for induced #abortion.

🚨 This is a classic solution in search of a problem. *NO ONE* prescribes meds for #abortion in #Texas. We dispense or administer all meds directly to the patient. THE ONLY people that need these drugs in a pharmacy either have a miscarriage, cancer, or autoimmune disease 2/
🚨 Let that sink in. Anti-abortion laws harm *all of us*. I'm urging local and national journalists to start interrogating pharmacies in #Texas about this practice. It's not only ethically bankrupt and discriminatory - it literally serves no purpose. 3/

this study is incredible
providers caught up in disciplinary action viewed as “good doctors” practicing within accepted norms of patient care.
physicians never charged with any crimes but could not recover after their practice had
been shut down, records confiscated, or had poor publicity in the media🤯

“As P.W. Singer and Emerson Brooking describe in.. book Likewar: The Weaponization of #SocialMedia, this phenomenon of “junk” or “fake news” is not new. In 2016, a similar, but related, conspiracy known as “Pizzagate” resulted in a shooting at a DC area pizza parlor.” #SoMe

One of our local Universities received a grant to implement #OneRx. I find the actions that they encourage highly alarming & stigmatizing. 1) approach patient to discuss only partial fill on #opioid medication 2) provide naloxone (ok with this), 3) refer to MAT 1/
My kids see a team of physicians who know their medical issues. Their issues are complex. I am not sure what I would do if a #pharmacist approached the kids to engage in discussion of only partially filling meds or referring to #MAT. It’s as though there is no understanding 2/
that most on #opioids have seriously tried other modalities of treatment. What will it take to have a balanced narrative instead of one completely #stigmatizing & #shaming 3/

And elderly people over the age of 65 are more likely to develop kidney disease because as people age, so do their kidneys.

One Saturday morning she rushes down the stairs to get ready for work.

It’s guttural. Choking. Someone can’t breathe.
She’s bleary-eyed from the long workdays, 6 days a week.
She’s not complaining. It’s necessary

Remember the surprise #pharmacist #apprenticeship proposal? An FOI request was submitted to the IfATE to find out a few things.
Thread/

The IfATE confirmed that the RPS was aware of the proposal and an individual it employed was party to exploratory discussions (though it should not be assumed that the person was acting as a representative of the employer).
The IfATE released the email chain in the attached image (the email on 17 May 2018 was sent to the RPS representative; the reply on 29 May was the representative’s response).
