What is the difference between intentional and unintentional tort in the medical field?
The classic unintentional tort, in any field, is negligence. Negligence is an unintentional tort because the tortfeasor does not intend to cause harm, but, through careless behavior, does cause harm.
In the medical field, negligence is generally called "malpractice" - when a doctor or other medical professional fails to exercise the proper skill, judgment, or care expected of such a professional, and through this failure, causes injury to a patient.
An intentional tort in the medical field could include any intentional tort that someone can commit outside the medical field - such as assault, battery, false imprisonment, fraud, etc.
An example of battery that could conceivably be committed by a doctor would be the doctor performing an operation that the patient did not consent to.

What is the difference between B.Pharmacy and D.Pharmacy corse?
The Pharm.D. is a 4-year program that requires at least 2 years of college study prior to admittance, although most applicants have completed 3 years. Entry requirements usually include courses in mathematics and natural sciences, such as chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences. Approximately two-thirds of all colleges require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT).
In 2003, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) launched the Pharmacy College Application Service, known as PharmCAS, for students who are interested in applying to schools and colleges of pharmacy. This centralized service allows applicants to use a single Web-based application and one set of transcripts to apply to multiple schools of pharmacy. A total of 43 schools participated in 2003.
In the 2003-04 academic year, 67 colleges of pharmacy awarded the master-of-science degree or the Ph.D. degree. Both degrees are awarded after the completion of a Pharm.D. degree and are designed for those who want more laboratory and research experience. Many master's and Ph.D. degree holders do research for a drug company or teach at a university.

Basically they are the same if you compare US and Australia. In Australia it is called Bachelor of Pharmacy (originally also used in the US) but they are both essentially the qualification needed to practice as a pharmacist. You may need to do extra studies if you want to practice between countries.
In the USA there is no more bachelor of pharmacy degree. The only degree offered is the doctor of pharmacy degree. Some schools offer master degrees that you would get after the doctorate degree if you desire. The only difference between the doctor of pharmacy programs and the old bachelor of pharmacy programs is that the doctorate program is one year longer and generally more clinicaly based.

Why is marijuana a C1 schedule drug while cocaine is a C2 schedule drug?
While cannabis is a Schedule I (CI) medication, marijuana's active ingredient, patented as Marinol (R), or called by its generic name, dronabanol, is a CIII medication, which would place it on par with Vicodin and other pain relieving medications which include synthetic codeine derivatives. I believe cannabis, as the actual plant, will become a CII or less drug within the decade as it's medicinal properties become more understood and accepted by the medical community as well as society in general.
The difference between CI and CII medications is simple to understand. CI medications, like heroin and marijuana, have no medical applications at all according to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). No doctor, anywhere, according to the FDA, is allowed to prescribe these medications. Only chemists and researchers may order these compounds with the permission of the DEA.
CII drugs do have, according to the FDA, medical applications. In my profession, I see Cocaine used frequently in the emergency room, as well as in the surgery centers. It has vasoconstrictive and analgesic properties which make it excellent for certain applications in these areas, such as in heart or eye procedures. Any hospital pharmacy will carry Cocaine in it's standard narcotic inventory. (Unless it is a very small hospital.)

Why are pharmacy people so rude?
Perceptions of rudeness among pharmacy staff may stem from high-stress environments, heavy workloads, and interactions with frustrated customers. Pharmacists and technicians often deal with numerous prescriptions and tight deadlines, which can lead to impatience. Additionally, they may face challenging questions or complaints from customers, contributing to a perceived lack of courtesy. It's important to recognize that many pharmacy professionals are dedicated and caring, but external pressures can sometimes affect their demeanor.
