Missouri hates me

Imagine that you've completed a professional program that you've invested seven (7) years of your life in. That's approximately ten percent of the average American's lifespan. Not exactly chicken dirt. To become qualified to perform duties of said profession, you must pass an exam created by a regulatory commission that was created to govern said profession. These people do not practice pharmacy.

Question #1: Patient A shows up with a script for BrandName that hasn't been used for 50 years. What do you do?
A. Fill the script as written
B. Choose option B that sounds plausible yet somehow still terribly wrong
C. Take the break that you don't get
D. What the shit...

Yes, I realized this question was flawed myself. Even without all my fancy schooling, one would realize that this is clearly besides the point. You see, when working in the happy little pill room, you may check on details such as brand name/generic name whenever you happen to not know which is which. It doesn't mean you're a bad pharmacist, it just means you haven't memorized that particular nugget of truth yet. Happens to the best of us. However, when taking a board exam, you may not walk back to the shelf and see what the brand name is for the drug that the 3000 year old MD wrote for that nobody uses anymore. You should have memorized it, just like the other 2,000 drugs you have on your shelf. Oh, and also various interactions, contraindications, monitoring parameters, dosage forms, dosages, schedules, generic substitutions and , yada yada yada.

That's the reason you went to graduate school. Memorizing useless facts is really what you should be doing with your higher education. Shit, that's much easier to test people on. Concepts are for suckers.
