I have had MD prescribe stuff for patients, that, as I’m typing the order in the computer, the computer has a hard stop and I have to chose a different timing or strength. This results in a call back to the MD to argue about policies for patient safety.

Sometimes we do get an order for “one a day or as needed”. The computer ALSO hard-stops this. It’s either a “scheduled med” (once per day) or a “prn med” (as needed). You cannot have both; the system won’t let you.
So; whereas sometimes docs and sometimes pharmacists do make mistakes; I’m more likely to blame the computer system for all of the hard-stops and system policies that cannot be overridden. Don’t get me wrong!! Hard stops are good when they catch something stupid dangerous, but they are also annoying for easy/okay overrides.

Oh wow! This is gorgeous, OP! What medium is this? Acrylics? Oil?

Reminds me of a quote from WildeLife (webcomic).
“You can discern many things about the nature of a man by how he responds when things do not go his way”

Aw crap. I’m coming to the mainland to see it and I’m still debating on what state to go to. I was going to avoid renting car; but I guess it’ll be safer if I do. I don’t want to miss this!!!
