Samuel Ngosa’s Post

Dr Gal Strasberg commented on my previous post, and I had my reply ready, however, it appeared that the comment was deleted. Luckily, I screenshot it. Here’s my reply: Interesting take! But if we’re sticking with your cigarette analogy, it seems like the ‘god-complex’ filter might be clouding the air here. Nurse Practitioners (NPs) aren’t here to throw smoke and mirrors; we’re here to provide essential, accessible care to those who need it most. Just because some people lobby for personal gains doesn’t mean they need to put down others who are simply working to improve patient outcomes. That kind of thinking is actually toxic—like the cancer cigarettes cause. NPs are highly trained, qualified, and dedicated—no flashy packaging needed, just honest, patient-centered care. So maybe it’s time to clear the air a little, don’t you think? 😊 Here’s his complete comment: NP-led care is the healthcare equivalent of placing a filter onto a cigarette - it might give the illusion of improvement, but the fundamental issues still smoulder. Just like Big Tobacco, Big Nurse Practitioner lobbies are blowing smoke to mask the deeper problems. They add flashy packaging and sweetened flavours, but the real issues continue to burn through the system, leaving the healthcare landscape clouded in a haze of fragmented care and diminished quality. You wouldn't smoke. So why breathe in the deception? Thanks for spreading the message ☺️ And remember, medical care should be rendered by professionals with a medical degree and medical education.

This conversation between two pharmacy technicians from the Medical University of South Carolina demonstrates how vital technicians are in ensuring pharmacy operations run smoothly across different settings. Whether it’s in community settings where technicians build personal connections with patients or in clinical spaces where they collaborate with healthcare teams, technicians are at the heart of patient care. Their adaptability makes them essential, no matter where they are. #Pharmacy #PatientCare #PatientOutcomes #Healthcare

🚀 The Power of Patient Education in Pharmacy! In my journey as a Pharmacist, I have found that patient education isn't just about dispensing medication; it's about building community health one individual at a time. At my work place, educating patients on drug interactions profoundly impacted patient safety and adherence to treatment. How can pharmacists continue to enhance patient education to improve community health outcomes? Looking forward to your insights! #Pharmacy #PatientCare #Healthcare #CommunityHealth

Ensuring nurse safety in administering HMPs and protecting all workers exposed to hazardous medicinal products (HMPs) throughout their lifecycle is critical, beyond the traditional focus on pharmacy preparation. The European Commission's March 2021 study reveals nurses are over four times more likely at a 40% exposure rate to encounter HMPs than pharmacists at 9%. To mitigate this, isolators and BSCs are effective in reducing pharmacist and lab technician exposure in preparation areas. Importantly, the utilization of CSTDs, like the EQUASHIELD® system, significantly lowers the risk for all professionals handling hazardous medicinal products, from manufacture to disposal. EQUASHIELD®'s focus on safety, efficiency, and ease of use, coupled with clear, concise communication and backed by evidence like this study, underscores the importance of comprehensive protection measures across all stages of HMP handling.
