I can honestly say that a pharmacist saved my life by catching a drug allergy my doctor over looked.  They took the time to explain to me what was going on within my body so that I understood the very real danger I had been in.  Pharmacists deserve a ton of respect.

I think it would be really cool if you could shadow a pathologist, and highlight the job that clinical laboratory scientists do. The lab is often an "out if sight, out of mind" part of the healthcare team.

I'm a hospital pharmacist who is also and onc/haem specialist. Great video! Thanks for showing what pharmacists do apart from dispensing medications. Doctors are disease specialists and we are medication specialists. Together we make an awesome team.

"She some how has everyone's number" No, everyone has HER number 😂 pharmacists are so underrated and an invaluable asset to a hospital and patient care, and soooo needed.

As a pharmacy student, I'm so excited to see this video and to get a view of what pharmacists do inside a hospital. Unfortunately, so many people have misinformed ideas of  pharmacists as only pill counters who are soon to be replaced by automation, so I especially loved the part about how the addition of automation doesn't reduce a pharmacist or pharmacy intern/technician's role in healthcare. It's great to have videos exploring some of the other roles a pharmacist plays in helping a hospital run smoothly.

Thank you for including pharmacy techs in this video. As a I pharmacist, I would be lost without our awesome technicians!

Pharmacists don’t get enough credit. Our pharmacists are absolutely wonderful and honestly some of the nicest and most patient people in the hospital. We are so lucky to have them!!

I wish people would give the same level of respect to pharmacist in the UK. Sometimes I’d rather see my pharmacist than my GP. My pharmacist also caught a bad mistake made by my  GP, That would have made me sick.  Let’s not forget these professionals ARE medically trained and been to university/medical school after all,

As a hospital pharmacist, this video was awesome to see. I also want to add that, depending on the hospital, pharmacists are given a level of autonomy to manage certain medications and monitor drug levels. For example, my hospital has protocols allowing pharmacists to manage medications like antibiotics, anticoagulants, anti-epileptics, and TPNs. This means that if a patient is on any of these medications, a pharmacist will be monitoring the patient, adjusting the dose for these meds, and ordering any relevant labs. We also have protocols that allow us to adjust dosing of meds based on the patients renal function and convert medications from IV to oral. Lastly, every single medication ordered by a provider is reviewed and verified by a pharmacist before it can be dispensed and given to a patient. Just wanted to share a bit more of what pharmacists do in the hospital for anyone curious. Thanks for the video!

I thought about giving up my clinical pharmacist dream but after watching this video I have decided to continue to pursue it. Thank you.
