Well, that’s my 6 year medical degree, 5 years postgraduate work, and postgraduate degree down the drain then…
Wish they’d told me I didn’t have to know about those pesky drugs BEFORE the exams…
Not suggesting that your clearly extensive education and experience has been wasted, just highlighting a common misconception that GPs are better placed to provide advice on drugs than a pharmacist.
No offense was intended. 🙂
As part of my 6 years in higher education I studied tax law at both undergraduate and postgraduate level (it’s compulsory). Tax is intrinsic to every transaction that I work on, yet I wouldn’t claim to be the person best placed to advise on tax related issues (that’s what we have the finance guys for). I don’t consider that all my education and experience (including in relation to tax) has been wasted….it’s just that there are people out there who know more about it than me 🙂
