For a limited time only, on Samsung.com/Shop Samsung App, purchase any Galaxy Note 9 or Galaxy S9/+ with Samsung Financing, carrier financing options, or outright purchase at full retail price (Qualifying Purchase) and send in a qualifying trade-in device to Samsung (must be received by Samsung within 15 days of Qualifying Purchase or you will be charged back for trade-in value applied to purchase), and you will receive up to a $600 trade-in credit to apply toward your Qualifying Purchase (value varies based on trade-in model and carrier).

If you actually go into the trade in only the Galaxy 9+ gives you that much back, again, a phone that's not even a year old.

It's not just the S9+. Like I said, there are other devices from other manufacturers that get you up to $600. Some of these can be had for much less than $1000.

The Galaxy 9+ (not just the 9) is the one you can trade in for $600

Wrong.

Both the S9 and S9+ get you $600. You need to do your homework, son.

Looks like it's carrier specific. A trade in to AT&T gets you $600 for an S9.

OnePlus is only a flagship as far as CPU and RAM. Everything else is below par from display to camera to expandable storage to waterproofing. Can they do wireless charging yet?

Sure, they cost half as much as a flagship Apple or Sammy, but there are reasons for that.

But that's the thing. They don't cost half as much. They compare their prices to MSRP, but literally no one ever pays MSRP for anything except Apple.

You can easily get an S9 for the same price as the 6T.

I actually just saw that Samsung is currently running a promotion where you can get up to $600 off your trade in if you get a Galaxy. Yep, you could get a Note 9 for less than OP6T.

Fake news. You literally have to trade in those $1000 phones to even get close to that $600 trade in.

Nope. Even an iPhone 8 or the heavily discounted S9 will get you $600.

Why would you use a Galaxy 9 to upgrade to a note lol.

You just said that you need a $1000 phone to get $600 from Sammy. I'm saying that you can profit by sending that $550 S9 from Costco back to Sammy.

Yeah, I shipped off my iPhone 6 Plus to them when I upgraded to my S8+ last fall.

Pretty easy process. They encourage you to hold onto your old phone so you can transfer whatever you need, but you have to ship it out to them after a certain number of days. I'm probably going to get the S10+ next year and I'll do the same thing.

This place and the constant need to vilify everyone(who happened to have a different thought than you) from a got ya moment is pathetic and sad as hell.

Humans are sophisticated beings. I think there were obviously some grudges here that people held onto and were Eager to strike down Coffee over this obvious mistake.

Her opinions havent been exclusive to one side or another. Look at her history. Theres nothing to suggest shes a racist.

You just drove away a good person who would post their honest opinion. If you guys wouldve just simply explained how she was wrong(respectfully) instead of accusing her of being a racist and hurling insults she probably would have been fine.

But no. Keep acting like savage animals. Consider, for a moment, how awful racism is. Racism, ultimately, boils down to unjustified or nonsensical hatred.

Hatred for a skin color or some other false stereotype.

Also consider how racism evolves. Racists begin carrying hatred for people with a different skin tone. They start thinking theyre better than those people.

Consider this hatred you have for coffee right now. What is it based in? I see a lot of posts that are obviously based off a revenge factor (from her prior opinions). One may argue its the very same type of hatred that fuels racism. A lot of people are eager to post or prove theyre better than her right now. Sound familiar??? Yes, I think some of you have stooped to the level that racists use. Youre running on the same type of fuel.

We all need to step it up and try to do better to understand one another and stop vilifying fellow people. We have more depth than Disney villaians. Its not so simple.

We all have our personal experiences which have shaped our political ideologies. Its time we put forth some effort to act civil.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

What a damn shame to run someone off a website due to what I consider to be differences of opinions and outright hatred. Coffee will be missed.

My pharmacist knows far more about drug interactions and side effects than any doctor I have ever known. It is my pharmacist who will be like, "Oh, you are taking ________ right now? Make sure not to take it within 2 hours of the meds the doctor prescribed. It can cause some bad interactions"

Couldn't typing all the meds into a computer catch that?

The computer doesn't differentiate between what is and isn't clinically relevant.

Just today, I took a call from a PA because he was admittedly paranoid about ordering citalopram and ondansetron for his patient because the computer flagged it. I guessed that he was concerned about QT prolongation, and he was.

Cardiac history? None.
Is that ondansetron every 8 hours as needed? Yep.

Then don't worry about it.

Not my thing either, and I dress well regardless where I go. If I go for a few drinks at a resto with friends I'm in a collared button up with loafers.

I just hate that the mentality has become "lets get FUCKED UP!" instead of lets have a good time. I hate the fights, the puking, dealing with drunk friends.

Rather go for a nice meal, grab some drinks in an atmosphere where we can sit and have a talk.

Might just be getting old though.

Lol as crazy as it sounds, I'm kind of transitioning to that. I still like nightclubs, but maybe not every time we go out at night.

A good night to me now is a little bar hopping, playing billiards, and shooting the **** over nachos.

I think part of the confusion in this topic is that folks don't actually know what pharmacists do, what we're trained to do, and what the law says we can do.

I do agree with this. And part of it is because there are so many avenues in healthcare: MD, PA, NP, pharmacist, RN, etc. They all have specific roles so it can be confusing for the public to know what pharmacists do outside of "They give me my medication." Pharmacist also spend the least time with patients.

I apologize for being obnoxious, btw. The comment about NPs making the most errors followed by the other comment that we overestimate our knowledge in pharmacology and (patho)physiology is what threw me off the rails. Those are some of the biggest challenges that NPs face and some health professionals still see our role as a joke.

No problem whatsoever. If anything, let me apologize as I can come off as a bit harsh in these kinds of topics.

Most people (as shown in this topic) haven't a clue about pharmacy practice, law, or medicine in general and sometimes that level of ignorance can get to me. I work with many healthcare providers every day and I have the utmost respect for them.

I mean, if that's what the doctor prescribed, then why would that be a problem?

Because that's an incorrect dosing frequency for extended-release oxycodone, which is given every 12 hours. I actually had an order for this exact dose come through to me in the hospital and I called out the doctor on it.

I think part of the confusion in this topic is that folks don't actually know what pharmacists do, what we're trained to do, and what the law says we can do.

Good deal. Rule #1 in making interventions is that you must have an alternative approach at the ready to suggest to the provider before you call them. They're usually receptive and will ask what they should do instead.

Everyone was just saying "God says so" is not a valid reason. Obviously there are valid reasons to not fill it. In the situation where the dosage is too high, wouldn't they try to contact the doctor or something to get a correct dosage or a recommendation for different medicine instead of just flat out refusing?

Depends on the medication and whether a change would require an entirely new prescription. Either way clarification would probably be sought out

There are also times you clarify and the doctor confirms that's what they want. Then you have a decision to make. Just because the doctor says yes doesn't mean refusal is off the table.

Exactly.

The provider can state unequivocally that the prescription is what they want but if I find that it's not for a legitimate medical purpose, I can refuse it and refer the patient to another pharmacy.

In the case of opiates, I would be exercising my corresponding responsibility as outlined by the DEA.

Most NPs and PAs I've worked with are cool people - it's just a lot of times, the questionable orders I've come across come from them.

Same goes for pharmacists - you'll find competent ones and not-so-competent ones. Everyone makes mistakes, but what annoys me here is when I make that call to intervene and the NP/PA appears irritated that I would question their order.

Pharmacists have too many rights as it is and I'm quite sick of it. They should ONLY be able to refuse due to safety reasons (drug interactions, incorrect dosaging or medication, etc). In any case, this pharmacist should have referred this patient to another pharmacist. I'm a Nurse Practitioner, and I've dealt with asshole pharmacists who thought they were bigger than the prescriber .

Oh, I wish I could count up the number of times I've saved critical care NPs from killing patients with bad orders

Go ahead and push compazine directly into the vein and see what happens.

I have only given that PO prior to ECT treatment. It can be given IV but I've never heard of it being pushed. I feel like you're making things up to paint NPs in a bad light, but whatever. I'll admit I work with some asshole pharmacists, so I'm a bit biased when it comes to them.

Not making it up. Administering compazine via IV push is a big ISMP no-no. Do that, and you've got yourself a gangrenous limb. It requires an intermittent infusion.

Another case was a CC NP ordering 40mEq K in 500mL saline administered over an hour in a peripheral line. Yeah, I'm going to call you on that.

EDIT: It's IV promethazine and not prochlorperazine/Compazine. Dunno why I keep mixing those two up.

Long story short, Namekians were either healers with no battle power or warriors much weaker than Nappa.
