Watch Out for Your Pharmacist!!

This is a rant blog, so feel free to not read it. I just needed a place to vent.

Ok...so you all know that Will is going to be a Pharmacist. If you didn't, you may have been living on a different planet. Anyway, getting to know his classmates, and how they are, and to hear some of the things that go on, and to know some of the things I know, I am amazed I trusted half the pharmacists I used. Seriously.

His class is known as the cheaters. Over half of them cheated the first time they were put on the Honor Code, and set free to use their Ethics. Scary, but this is even scarier. There is someone in his class whom we have known is not very honest. We have known this for a long time, and we got burned, our other friends got burned, and others took up their sides, and have since come to apologize to us seeing how they too got burned eventually. Well anyway, the thing that is scary about all this, is that this person would do the minimal work possible, and still do it wrong, but because it was in group settings the rest of the group members would correct it, and make up for it. So the instructors didn't really see that this person wasn't doing their share, and well as this person wasn't understanding the material. Well now this person has been marked for life.

Most of this persons class realized that cheating was not the way to go, and never did it again. However this person has found a new way to cheat and be dishonest, and their classmates have all made it very clear that they feel this person is a cheater, and have reported it to numerous faculty members. This person has decided that on days when there are exams they would be conveniently sick. Now I can forgive once, but be honest about it, and don't sit in the classroom while they are going over the answers to the exam knowing full well you never took it. Anyway this has become a habit this semester, and this person has missed many exams due to being "sick". Will has gone to exam days on antibiotics and horrible diarrhea but still managed to study and take the exam on the day it was given.

Any rate this person would pump their classmates for information about how the exam was and what was on it when they would coma back to class the next day. Go figure...such a fast recovery. Then they would sit in the class while the instructor went over all the exam questions, and gave the class the answers to the exam. All the while this person sitting in there knowing full well they never took the exam. Well this didn't go unnoticed by numerous members of Wills class, and they decided to send emails to different professors about this situation. Such dishonesty, such a disgrace to the profession of people who are to have such high ethics.

Well I tell you what, I go to a pharmacy and see this person as the pharmacist, I will run out the door and never look back. Who knows if this person will be solely relying on their techs to get it right for them, and fix this persons mistakes. I hope they throw the book at this person. This just disgusts me, and I will make sure that everyone I know knows where this person is practicing (if they ever can stand on their own without cheating and pass the Naplex) and never go there. This person could seriously hurt someone else. Obviously this person has no scruples or ethics. Such a disgusting disgrace to the profession of Pharmacists. I will be so mad if this person gets away with this. And I'm not the only one. Apparently most of this persons classmates know this about them, and is just as disgusted as I am about this. SICK SICK SICK!!
