    Chemists; not Pharmacists?

    in General Discussions

    The following is a quote from Chapter 21 of The Language of Medicine:


    "In Europe and many parts of Africa, a pharmacist is called a chemist and takes the role of a physician for minor disorders. Patients go directly to the "chemist's shop," describe their symptoms, and the chemist is authorized to diagnose and prescribe—and then dispense—drugs."


    Is this accurate? If so, I find it quite interesting.

    @Dave Sutton - I just heard about the record heat and wildfires in the UK. Do you have AC? Being from the US, I cannot imagine places without it, but apparently many homes in the UK don't have it. I'm sure other parts of Europe are the same way because temperatures have been much more moderate in the previous decades.

    My mortgage is paid up, so I'm sitting pretty, and house prices are rocketing in my area.

    @Dave Sutton - Wow! That's pretty good. I didn't think you had lived in your current place for more the thirty years. Or did you pay it off early?

    I had arranged to pay it off by the time I was 60

    I'm 75 and fairly lucky health wise. I walk a couple of miles every day early morning.


    Chemists here have a pharmacy department and because of Covid and Doctors being overworked the pharmacist is now being used a lot more for minor illnesses. My local chemist have a small consulting room that is used by the pharmacist. I have not had the pleasure of using it yet, and it has been years since I have seen a doctor., although I have a regular INR check by a nurse in the local medical centre. I check my own blood pressure.

    I was on atorvastatin for a while, but it started causing muscle spasms when I took it in conjunction with Accutane. So, my doctor took me off of it and monitored my cholesterol. My cholesterol is slightly elevated, but not enough to be of great concern.


    I had to look up INR. It's a prothrombin (coagulation) time test.

    I'm doing OK. I'm 72 and need to remember to keep myself fit as much as possible. I don't like going for walks much but I must keep doing that. I ate too much ice cream just now and that's something I should not do.

    Not much in downtown LA that I can think of at the moment. There is the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

    I don't like walking for exercise either because I push myself to walk two miles in a slightly over 30 minutes. I don't mind leisurely walks though. However, I don't do much of that these days. Perhaps if I find someone worth taking a leisurely walk with . . . .

    Perhaps @Dave Sutton would know more about this if true.

    When I was a milkman, I used to deliver milk to a farm that had free-range pigs, and they are extremely intelligent as well. I don't eat much pork, but I love grilled octopus.

    I don't eat pork either save for the rare occasion that I eat a turkey bacon and swiss sandwich.
