Headhunters

1. ??? My understanding was that it was indicated for HAP and resulting bacteremia.
2. Zyvox itself is a mild-moderate MAO inhibitor
3. No max dose per-say… though there is no tolerance development in constipation or respiratory depression, so as long as you can keep them breathing then no max.
4. EC delays absorption 45mins-hour… so no drug till and hour after you take it for a headache

All correct - but there is a reason for number 1.

Tigecycline is distributed to tissues at higher concentrations. It doesn’t stay in the blood to treat the bacteremia.

After I get done telling them I’m not interested for now, the headhunters ask that perennial question, “Do you know of anybody that is looking for [a new job]?” The balls of these people! After interrupting my work flow, they also want me to help them do their job!

I do think historically, though. I am always polite to these people, since the sky could fall and I might need them, and the one I am pissy at could be the first one I might call some day. But not for the time being.

head hunters……what a pack of time-wasting bastards!
give them a REAL job somebody, PLEASE!!

There are a multitude of studies out there regarding the use of tigecycline for bacteremia/sepsis with very favorable results. We use it in our ICUs when other options fail. So, what do you know that we don’t? :)

What everyone above you has said.

1. it is bacteriostatic and tends to concentrate in tissues

1. Its bacteriostatic… you don’t use bacteriostatic agents in systemic infections.
2. Linezolide has MAOI activity
3. There is no max dose to Oxy so long as it is properly titrated… however at very high doses you risk adverse effects like decreased testosterone levels.
4. EC delays absorption… delaying pain relief.
5. Because he is a mouse

Its because Tygacil has a much greater concentration in tissue, than in blood.

Tigecycline, and other glycylcyclines have a very high volume of distribution, and therefore will be many times more concentrated in tissue. Because of this, a much higher dose would be required for bacteremia, than for a cSSSI.

I usually tell them I will not accept anything less than $70 hour with a $30,000 1-year commitmrnt bonus, and all of this must be in writing, with approval from my attorney. It usually gets them off the phone.

#1 to #4 what everone else said

#5 Because when Minnie pulls on them something else gets big.

I’m sympathetic to both sides here. On Sundays and week nights when we’re not over hours, I’m a Pharm Tech. Mon-Thurs, I’m a teleresearcher.

The headhunters are just doing their job. At my teleresearch job, I call 80 numbers per hour and talk to about 30 people per hour. On a good day, one person per hour will make me some cash. Do I really care about what I’m asking these people? No. Do the hundhunters really care about getting you a job? No. However, they’re just doing their jobs.

PS. You’re not getting a laugh at another’s expense. In my experience, the people who I call who fuck with me, make my job easier. They make me laugh when I’m in shitty mood.

At my teleresearch job…
::I read from my script::
Person: Can I ask you a question?
Me: Sure (thinking it’s about the survey)
Person: It hurts when I pee, what should I do?
Me: I think you should see a doctor.
Person: I don’t trust my wife. I think she may have brought something home.
Me: I still think you should see a doctor.

I love those people and I’m sure the headhunters do, too.

5. because wth kind of kids would like him with small ears?

“Please contact me if you would like to find a new position!”….. Thats what she said.

I laugh reading this because headhunters, recruiters, career agents, whatever you want to call us make well over a six figure income. I have 2 degrees and make alot more than you so get off your high horse thinking you are special. We make money off of you standing around counting pills so call us bastards and ponder why we dont get a “real job” all you want but we are not going anywhere. In fact with the aging baby boomers more and more are popping up left and right. Who wouldnt want to work at home in their pj’s for $250,000 a year? I love it and wouldnt trade it for the world :) and yes there are the big billers that make almost double what I do but I am not as aggressive as a sales person. Its scary that you dont have enough brains to know all of this.

1. What the fuck are you talking about?
2. Fuck off, pawn.
