Biggest difference between hospital and community is OTC sales -'what can I have for this tickly cough that has gone to my chest?'
Oh, and strictly speaking you can't substitute anything - if a Dr wants lodine, you have to give lodine, not the generic (although this can be bent depending on the situation).
One last point: while you're still in hospitals, can you please ask Drs to put patients address on Rxs. I swear the next hospital Rx I get without a patient address is going to get sent back to the hospital.
