Re: Oseltamivir Carboxylate versus Phosphate salts

[Guest guest]

Dear Joe,

What theatrics! Really!

Of course if I had read and studied a CE on this topic I might, be

able to help this person. Probably not, but I might! YET only the

manufacture really knows why they have chosen to manufacture only a

capsule,not a tablet. It may be pure ecconomics or it may be

pharmacokinetics. It may be some other reason, like the in

activeingredents such as binders and fillers etc. But one would not

know unless they read and studied the exact a topic. Studying what is

available literature to the public still may not answer this

question. There may be a company reason that is not being devulged

such as 'timing'.

My point is do you really think that this post of yours is going stop

techs from studying pharmacist ce? If a tech or any other human has

not been exposed to this information, how can we expect he/she to

understand it or comment on it? Give me a break. When you studied

pharmacy didn't you have to take a class in logic? Where is the logic

in your post?

OR did you think it (your post) could prove some point of yours that

techs can not understand this stuff? First of all most techs would

not choose to read something that they found too technical. They

would stop and find another CE. Have some FAITH Joe! Oh yeah I forgot

you think all techs, oops most techs take FREE CE because it is FREE

and they do not care what the topic is as long as it is FREE. What

crap! Sorry! (by the way according to the definition it is not

bashing if I disagree with you).

We have been professional associates for a long time. And you have

posted some wild stunts before. But this one really takes the cake.

However Joe I really do not see what the fuss is all about! You got

your wish! Techs can ONLY take CE that are for Techs witha

designated " T " any way. So the titles will be less scientific and

less interesting for me and MANY others like me who are perfectly

capable of understanding biology, anatomy, chemistry and physics. On

the other hand those who do not have such capability will definitely

still have FREE CE avaialbe designated with a " T " for techs.

So what is your beef? The time for this argument is long gone!

By the way folks ONLY ACPE claims that CE for techs must have a " T "

PTCB does not claim this that I know of.

I am sure that you are capable of reading about astonomy. But if I

were to ask you a question about it you too may have to do some

research, even though you have NEVER (probably) taken advanced clases

in it. I don't think that makes you less capable of understanding it

if you were to begin reading about it, just less exposed to it.

Come on Joe admit the fallacy in your implied statement. At least to

yourself.

I hope that you accept this post in the spirit in which it is given:

chide, jest and determination to prove that techs some techs not all

are capable of understanding advanced information, and that most

techs would not waste their time on FREE CE that they could not

understand.

Hi Julette and Karin,

Yes you both are right! Sometimes I get stubborn and do not realize

that any CE is good CE. As long as something, however minuscule or

infinitesimal is learned, then the CE has served its purpose.

Bravo for sticking to your guns and allowing me to see the light!
