Intern’s First Order

No unnecessary suppositories please

[DGlaucomflecken]

This one is autobiographical. The hospital pharmacist knew my voice 6 weeks into intern year 😅

'Nothing wrong with asking for help.' Great message Doc

[ADKEMT]

The portrayal of pharmacy is frighteningly accurate. You call; they are pleasant and helpful. They educate without being condescending. They solve the worlds problems, thank you, and invite you to call back any time for any reason. And then you hang up the phone and are thrusted back into the terrifying world from whence you rung. The only difference… you have one less problem.

"4 hourly Tylenol via PR might... irritate the nurses"
And the patient's rectum... but yknow...

So wholesome and cute! I hope every intern has docs and pharmacists that are this patient and understanding

[JamillaF]

Soooo I shouldn't be smashing the keyboard when admitting my patients? Finally I understand why all pharmacists hate me... Thanks Dr. Glaucomflecken!

[hillridgejohnathan]

"Medication bro" is so cute lol

[richardtly]

As an intern and resident, a page or call back from pharmacy was always something I appreciated. As I progressed, it went from "yes, thanks for that clarification", to more "thanks for the check, that is how I meant to order it because..." High five to the pharmacists for the support and collaboration!

Awwww it's a baby Ortho! He hasn't adjusted into the Ortho Bro mindset yet, still growing into the Brohood!

[AHIdreesi]

I swear this guy followed me around in med school lol
I love pharmacists, super helpful. They. Know. So. Much.

[botanicallyaberry]

That little plot twist (if you could call it one) at the end was so cute! Intern bone bro’s going to be a great doc

"Nailed it."

Medical staff supporting medical staff, professionally and emotionally.

I honestly often forget that a single person does both characters, you are so good at it.

[stealthy]

I’m a medication bro and I approve. We don’t bite….except the antibiotic steward. They might.

As a nurse, I love docs who understand how much work it can be to carry out orders and try and keep things manageable. Anything by rectum every four hours is not going to make anybody happy.

[Casca]

Being on the pharmacist side of this, I can honestly say this is the intern I love to talk to.

[RaGiNgBaNaNa]

As a pharmacist- Or the other way they order it is by putting in incorrect directions if they can’t figure out how to do what they want- but they include admin instructions with what they are trying to do. So we have to figure out Frankenstein’s monster

[Icysandwich]

how can a man be so great at acting that he nails an impression of a guy trying to do an impression of a character THAT HE MADE UP

[amgoudman]

And THIS, ladies and gents, is what we call interdisciplinary collaboration. (I'm a nurse, for the record.)

[williamhrivnak]

This is so accurate for retail pharmacy too. Especially doctors disappearing into the night and then you try to call them and can never get a hold of them, and then the patient is angry because you won’t fill their medication for a dose that is twice the therapeutically safe level.
