Patients should be discharged from either the ED or inpatient with their new or refilled meds in their hands Requiring them to go to a pharmacy to pick up their treatment is adding an unnecessary middleman

Well this blew up I don’t have a sound cloud but I do have a podcast if you like EM core content While you are here- abortion is healthcare and every human should have healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt them embasic.org
Interesting take, I’m sure you’re correct but now that the hospital is completely siloed from the outpatient world, the outpatient primary team has zero idea that the pt was even in the hospital much less what happened there. The pt trusts the doctors/NPs they know, not the hospital folks they don’t know. So these transitions are very confusing
@embasic I’m sorry, they asked for an unpopular opinion! That opinion is very popular … from the patient’s point of view.
@embasic I didn't realize this was unpopular. I wish we could do this.
