I know being a doctor must be very difficult. I have always wandered just as an estimate how much names of medication can a doctor remember, considering there are hundreds if not more.
Also, does a doctor forget medication names, or make spelling mistakes and do they need to know the dosage and interactions.
I have always respected my doctors but, I am just really curious to know the answer.
Does anyone know the real answer and are you a doctor or a doctor in training ?|||Doctors are familiar with the most frequently prescribed medications and their dosages. All doctors have a PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) if they need to check on the best medication to prescribe, and it's interactions. A large percentage of doctors do their prescribing electronically and can just enter the name of a drug and get a rundown on everything he would need to know about the drug.
Doctors generally are pretty good at spelling.....medical terminology is generally spelled the way it sounds. Their handwriting can be pretty bad because of how much they have to write everyday.|||He should know as many of them as he can because if he were to prescribe you meds that dont mix well with each other then that could kill you. So it is very important that a doctor know as many of them as he can.|||all of them
