Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

Re: How do pharmacists dispose of expired meds?

The bottom line is... I work at a major drug chain as a store manager and personally do the process. We do not ever throw ANY drug in the dumpster (except for maybe a swallow of cough medicine). All drugs are sent back to the distribution center, then either incinerated, or forwarded to the wholesaler for store credit, which I am pretty sure they dispose of them the same way. It is very strict, even all RX trash bags have to be saved and returned to the DC for "proper disposal" if were ever caught throwing RX trash out in the dumpster, we would be fired, and possibly fined if any patients info was ever found.
Hope that answers all. We are very strict on this because of all the "Dumpster Divers" we get...
