Doctor of Pharmacy

decisions for themselves the doctor will know who to ask for medical decisions. The medical will lets you know if they want to have everything done possible to keep them alive or to just let them go.

Growing up, everyone has some sort of obstacles. “If we choose to see the obstacles in our path as barriers, we stop trying… However, if we choose to see the obstacles as hurdles, we can leap over them” (Carson). My mom always told me “If at first you do not succeed, try and try again.” I never really understood that phrase when I was a little girl. I do however understand it now. A lot of people just quit when they face problems. I was the same way. Growing up I decided that it was impossible…

Dead On Arrival Often times the unexpected happens and your life changes, sometimes for worse but more often than not for the best. In life we cannot predict what will happen to us. If we were afforded that ability life would be much easier and we most certainly would sustain less heartache. Instead we must take what is handed to us and make it pleasurable or better yet worthy of a life worth living. Or we can let it consume us in the depths of our inner most being. I refuse to lie down and be…

criteria should be able to take comfort in knowing the choice is theirs. If they decide for it, euthanasia needs to become available as soon as possible because current doctors, medical students and graduate students…

As with any accusation of abuse and/or non-compliance, an explanation is always available from the side of the accused. In this case, both employees and employers have been on the defensive concerning abuse of FMLA and each has ready explanations for why it occurred. In general, the consensus from those involved is that the rules and regulations of the Act are difficult to understand and therefore the non-compliance or abuse is really unintentional and just a misunderstanding. One such…

all the books and stories we were responsible for this class, I connected to three wonderful stories for two particular reasons. As a young doctor, and doctor in general, there will be times when you develop a strong attachment towards a patient that may affect you mentally or a patient comes in with symptoms that are not recognizable. When I become a doctor, I always worried how I would react under pressure and whether I would become too emotionally attached to my patient; that is why I…

Unless you’re a hypochondriac or someone who goes to the doctor on a regular basis, you probably don’t check your blood pressure often—if at all. There are plenty of wireless blood pressure monitors on the market that work fairly well. If you want to keep track of your daily vitals, however, you’re going to have to manually store them. Sending your results to your physician will also have to be a manual chore. Nowadays, the digital route seems to be the way to go for keeping track of steps,…

The Traveler’s Wife There is a young woman by the name of Nettie Jones that has become a frequent subject of gossip in our town. She’s a pretty little thing, with silky brown hair and warm brown eyes. Her voice is sweet and melodic, and she has a soft spoken and kind demeanor. She lives a fair distance away from the rest of the town, in a little cottage in the foothills of the mountains to the north. Every morning, she comes down from her home to go about her business in the town, buying…

by Pharmaceutical companies, their drug reps can pinpoint which doctors to approach, and which drugs they should approach them with. Drug reps generally only approach doctors that write a large amount of prescriptions, and for good reason. A single doctor could literally add 100-200k in sales for a Pharmaceutic company through prescribing their drugs. They will use terms like, “Thought Leaders”, or “Educators” and pay the doctors to lecture…

drama “Grey’s Anatomy”. The program is set in Seattle Washington at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital, and is centered around a female doctor named Meredith Grey as well as other staff and doctors working at the hospital. The series Grey’s Anatomy presents an incredibly sensationalized view of modern medicine. With that in mind, many of the issues that the doctors on the series deal with tend to be over the top for the sole purpose of entertainment value. That being said, these type of…
