Most drug interactions are BS. If you had a computer flag for every interaction in the literature you'd never get your medicine.
true, unlike most problems, drug interactions are pretty darn easy to implement in code.
i voted pharma
Depends on what they do. Help desk and desktop support? Sure, they make less. The engineers typically make as much as the more senior developers.
like i said, in my area, engineers and developers aren't considered "it people"

Network engineers and systems engineers aren't considered IT?
Why can't a computer do that more accurately, faster, and cheaper? Sorry, but I agree that pharmacists are incredibly overpaid and mostly unnecessary.
all the professions in the poll earn what the market is willing to bear. not sure what the point of the poll is.
That's a rather naive Econ 101 understanding of things.
We have a dorky IT guy at work who knows less about computers than I do, has a squeaky voice, has no social skills, looks like your typical IT dork but somehow he is married, has a child and drives a Lexus SUV... so yeah, I vote that they make too much.
Everyone in HR should be making $0.
Haha. /facepalm
Can a computer flag the interaction of renal dysfunction and ace inhibitors? Possibly it can see the creatinine is high and then Computer will say - Oh fuck that not dispensing it. Too bad its prescribed all the fucking time and then nobody will get their medication. Can it tell what kind of renal failure it is? If it's end stage, i don't care. If it's mild, I don't care, might actually help. Acute renal failure and possible bilateral renal artery stenosis on the KUB? Yeah I care. Do you think a computer will read the radiologist report on the xray to evaluate the use of prescribed ace inhibitor and check to make sure if both the renal arteries have stenosis? Do you think a computer can tell the difference between esrd, acute, and mild renal failure? Then present this info to the MD?
Hahahhahhahahaha. Just sayin
We operate in the shadows and a large amount of what we do you don't see because you are snowed by all the Dilaudid in the hospital. That doesn't mean we are not helping.
I'm a bit shocked Forum Mods is coming in second place. Just so we're clear here, we don't get paid. Nada, zilch, zero. The only way to pay us less would be to charge us.
Hehe I can't copy paste code. It doesn't work since every piece of code at my company is proprietary and developed in house. You have to spend hours figuring out how something works, why it's done that way, because the documentation does not help, whatever is left of it.
They have a knack for over complicating everything. But it's an adventure learning how something works and then working with it, adding to it. At companies like mine you don't really learn anything for use somewhere else because you are writing custom code. Each new project is like working at a different company. But it makes you learn specifics, details, and the general infrastructure of development which is really important.
I know PLENTY of overpaid people, and PLENTY of underpaid people. Companies are typically piss-poor at evaluating employee performance and importance to the bottom line.also it is the reality of things

I thought it was a pretty obvious joke response.
I'm just kinda surprised at the arguing about IT and Pharm, but nobody's trying to defend lawyers - people who go to college for three years to learn how to do paperwork that most people will spend thousands of dollars to not have to do.
