Haldol is a typical antipsychotic medication.[6] Haloperidol is used in the treatment of schizophrenia, tics in Tourette syndrome, mania in bipolar disorder, delirium, agitation, acute psychosis, and hallucinations from alcohol withdrawal.[6][7][8] It may be used by mouth or injection into a muscle or a vein.[6] Haloperidol typically works within 30 to 60 minutes.[6] A long-acting formulation may be used as an injection every four weeks by people with schizophrenia or related illnesses, who either forget or refuse to take the medication by mouth.[6]
Haloperidol may result in a movement disorder known as tardive dyskinesia which may be permanent.[6] Neuroleptic malignant syndrome and QT interval prolongation may occur, the latter particularly with IV administration.[6] In older people with psychosis due to dementia it results in an increased risk of death.[6] When taken during pregnancy it may result in problems in the infant.[6][9] It should not be used by people with Parkinson's disease.[6]

Can Trump now claim that he’s performed at Burning Man?

It's bad enough that a video gets interrupted by an ad.
It's worse that there's a thirty-second ad at the beginning of the video.
It's even worse that this ad is for a real estate developer and last 1:25
And there are no words for the 1:25 ad being followed by an 30 second ad for makeup.

Also, an addendum.
Any doc can purport to be qualified to treat any condition. If the results end up being unfortunate, let him bear the consequences either in court, licensing body, or public opinion.
I knew a heart surgeon who was absolutely terrible. Would operate on any patient who could fog a mirror, and when things went south, it was always someone else's fault - the anesthesiologist, the perfusionist, the nurse who took too long to pass an instrument. I hated doing cases with this surgeon. The surgeon eventually left the university and ended up working at the local veterans hospital/county hospital. Results were horrible.
Ended up leaving there (Asked to leave? I don't know) and going to another university in another state where results were also dismal.
This surgeon was denied tenure, and decided that leaving was the best option. Ended up working in an emergency room in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I don't know how long that stint lasted, but it was relatively short from what I heard.
This surgeon is now a year older than I and is still working.
Running a pain clinic in the suburbs of Chicago, specializing in "myofascial regeneration." Looking this doc up on Google, it says "Family medicine specialist."
Sometimes, the chaff gets separated from the wheat after all.

@Renauda said in Walgreens: "Can't fill that prescription.":
A dentist could suspect shingles in a patient too,
DDS ≠ MD or DO.
My license says "physician and surgeon." If I tried to take out an appendix, I would be foolish, and would deserve whatever consequences come from such an attempt. Nevertheless, I am allowed to.
Whether I could ever get hospital privileges to do so is another question, but I am not expressly prohibited from doing so.
That said, is treating herpes zoster in the scope of practice of an ophthalmologist?
Yes. Yes it is.
An estimated 10–20% of shingles cases affect the eye. This type of shingles is known as herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO).
People with HZO may experience:
- tingling in the forehead
- severe pain in the nerves of the eyes
- fever
- eye inflammation
- Ophthalmologists can conduct exams and tests to determine the presence of HZO. Most people with HZO will receive systemic antiviral medications.
Regardless of the type of shingles specialist they choose, it is crucial for anyone experiencing symptoms of shingles to seek immediate care. Prompt treatment can help reduce the risk of developing painful conditions such as PHN.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology agrees:

James declared that she was going to oppose the Trump administration because it was “too male, too pale, and too stale.”
“Now, you could talk about stale ideas, that’s fine, but too male and too pale, that constitutes, basically, sex and race discrimination. So I think what President Trump ought to do is sue her on the basis of the 1964 Civil Rights Act,” Murdock told Fox News on Tuesday.
“Her office gets federal money for various subsidies for law enforcement activity. So federal money is flowing into her office and if she is engaged in that kind of sexual and racial discrimination and that kind of language, I think she’s wide open to exposure on the 1964 Civil Rights Act,” Murdock said.
“Donald J. Trump should sue Letitia James on the basis of Civil Rights,” Murdock added.

@George-K Very cool. Was he using an air blower or some sort of spray occasionally?
Looks like a blower (watched at 0.25 speed) to herd the stray bees to a location where they can sense the rest of the "pack."
