I co-majored in a psychology and neurophysiology degree - psychologists should absolutely and totally be excused from meds prescribing. They do zero serious biochemistry, and often not even token biochemistry. Meds may need to be allowed to be prescribed by other professionals, but whoever it is should need to do some serious biochem training in some manner.

> biochem training and pharmacology, and physiology, and several years on the wards watching the meds go in, watching the pee go out (or not), seeing what happens to the patient, sorting through laundry lists of meds at admission and discharge, losing arguments with pharmacy about why that max-concentrate K-Phos is a bad idea considering the patient's CCr was 1.1 yesterday and now it's 1.4, etc, etc.
