A social media trend can show us a lot about how to communicate with young children.

I gained admission into Pharmacy School 25 years ago in Nigeria at the age of 17. My decision to study pharmacy had nothing to do with a deep love for drugs or humanity or anything of the sort.

When I was about five years old, my parents opened their first community pharmacy. Because our home was right above the pharmacy, I grew up surrounded by prescriptions, medications, and patient conversations.

This new product raised a specific red flag for me about an issue I see all the time in my practice.

A 72-year-old woman’s fall shows how age-related risks can lead to preventable injuries.

It’s never too late to acknowledge the care and dedication, the skills and training, the thankless hours spent in near-impossible conditions and the personal sacrifice to alleviate the ravages of disease and suffering.

I honestly never want to do clinical medicine again. If I never have to read a new guideline it will be too soon, but I do miss the rush medicine used to give me.

Looking at the practice of pharmacy and the business of pharmacy, the two are not mutually exclusive. In fact, we need one in order to provide the other.
