Pharmatard

An overworked, understaffed, not necessarily underpaid, legal community drug dealer wearing a short, dirty, white lab coat and employed by a Fortune 500 mass merchandiser, grocer, large retail chain, or healthcare institution; a pharmatard graduates from pharmacy school with a vast array of knowledge and factual tidbits relating to pharmacotherapy but eventually becomes a dumbed-down, amorphous, human mass as a result of continuous verbal abuse from those illegitimately seeking controlled substances despite various federal and state regulations governing their dispensation in addition to psychological stress imparted through dealings with uneducated physician office staff, under-educated nursing staff, and egotistical, arrogant practitioners with established prescriptive authority yet complete disregard for the deleterious consequences of polypharmacy, drug-drug, drug-food, and drug-disease interactions that may hinder optimal therapeutic outcomes; also, an empty shell of a pharmacist, who makes bogus recommendations regarding self-treatment of certain disease states with nonprescription, over-the-counter (OTC) drug therapy
