I wonder if, people walk into Aziraphale's shop to find him with a black snake just wander around sleeping on his scatering piles of books.

I imagine they be thinking: that's an odd combination (?) And Azi be like: oh dont worry dear, he might be feisty sometimes but he's the most adorable darling ever.

And Crowley would just star n do things with his tongue on Azi's face, as a gesture of adoration.

P/s: i'm sorry about the lengthy post

cant get over how the literal canon is that aziraphale and crowley broke up and so to cope crowley just SLEPT for a fucking century while aziraphale put on his sluttiest boots, joined a discreet gentlemans club, and learned a dance that requires you to kiss everyone in the room like the absolute ho antics is too much!!

Crowley: “I’ve got plenty of OTHER people to ‘fraternise’ with!”

Aziraphale: *Picks up hobbies, makes new friends, probably fucks Oscar Wilde, you can’t prove he didn’t*

Crowley: *Sleeps for a hundred years, wakes up only when Aziraphale needs him again*

Crowley: “That showed him.”

Providers: Hey can you see about adding Vistaril to the formulary instead of Atarax for anxiety?

Me: *still bad at brand names* Sure, I’ll look into that!

Me: *looks it up* Uh, they’re both hydroxyzine.

Providers: Yes, but the pamoate form is for anxiety and the HCl form is for allergies.

Me: *searches through literature for something to back this up*

Me: …..

Me: *spends all evening after work continuing to search*

Me: …..

Psychiatric pharmacist message board: Yeah one time a long time ago there was a truly sketchy study on pamoic acid in anxiety and now everyone thinks it matters.

You know what would be really interesting? Someone looking into the culture of prescribers. How these rumors are passed down through the generations. How each prescriber is so sure that they write prescriptions in a very standard way using standard notation, when really they’re as unique as fingerprints. How they use brand names that stopped decades ago to mean something that wasn’t even the dosage form for the drug when that brand name existed.

I’m not trying to be critical. I truly think it’s fascinating. And only pharmacists see it.

happens all the time, and not just with medications.

I see it in all forms. not just medications. 

we talk about it a lot or ventilate. Like “omg ED did that shit again.” Or omg, did you see what that GP referred or what they wrote in their referral? etc. etc. or that orthopod can’t read ECG, so we call it the cephazolin pump-o-gram to help them out. 

Some times it is bad practice. Bad medicine. Sure. 
other times.. We accept that we’re human in our field and we’re often in impossible tasks. If you wanted a hospital free of doctors who make mistakes, there’d be no doctors left in it. I can’t remember where I heard that quote from. 

Also. the trouble is everyone gets so busy or overly focused in their own field. 
it’s partly why behind closed doors different specialties make fun of each other. Not to be mean, but have an outlet. It’s why Dr. Cox is so sarcastic in Scrubs - and many people are like that to deal with this part of medicine. 

like a group of cardiologists could easily go, 
Lols, I can’t believe that ED physician thought it was a LBBB when it was obviously RBBB on the ECG. for cardio, all you do is look at ECGs, so it is painful when someone gets it wrong. then again, you’re stretched thin in ED and it gets slammed. You’re having to know a little bit about too many different things (try every subspec in med and surg or paeds/obgyn) - outside of the critical care things. on the other hand, cardiologists will attend conferences on the most up to date things in their areas, but an ED physician won’t attend that same cardiology conference. 

that’s partly why we have multidisciplinary teams. why follow a swiss cheese model etc. the media only seems to think doctors exist, but in any setting, doctors are only like a 1/10th of the picture or team. and even then, a patient who enters a hospital will pass through many different types of doctors, nurses, allied health, pharmacists etc. 

I digress. the whole area of misconceived notions or errors it is a fascinating one. in one form, it’s a whole field of medicine in itself - the systems of medicine or healthcare administration. everyone gets caught up in new therapies or breakthroughs, but there’s so much to be done fixing holes and gaps in the system itself. Half the time, it’s more of a lack of attention to guidelines. Or even lack of access and awareness of updates. 

If you whittle it away. we’re not free from being human as providers. 
But it’s like, all ‘wrong’ ideas perpetuated in the societal norm that somehow doctors must be free from errors.

Case in point. The ‘wrong idea’ that is perhaps the most aggravating out of all the errors in the world, is the whole idea that vaccines cause autism. that one retracted paper that also rightly cost the author, Dr. Wakefield, his medical license. And yet here we are, seeing an emergence of measles. Leaving some of our most vulnerable in society susceptible to diseases we haven’t seen in decades, easily preventable, due to loss of herd culture in some pockets. we shouldn’t have to have legislation that goes, you can’t take your child to daycare unless they’ve been vaccinated. 

Doctors are vulnerable to error like every other human being. we still haven’t fully let go of the whole paternalistic idea that ‘doctor knows best’ it’s pervasive, we try to move away from it but we still linger on it - if we’re asking ourselves why do doctors make mistakes? They’re people too, of course they do.

for any med students. The learning in medicine only begins in med school, it doesn’t end when you grad. Ever after, you’re chasing guidelines and going to conferences to learn what the latest things are. we’re an evidence based field, it means that we’re always look at the next research trial that shows what the next best practice is with the better mortality outcomes and fewer adverse effects. Fewer margins of error.

TL;DR: “The learning in medicine only begins in med school, it doesn’t end when you grad.”
