Welcome! Hello colleagues, I'm still here (Dec 2019)! Welcome to the internet site that has been providing information to pharmacists and other health providers since the days of Mosaic (which is why this has all been coded by hand) and has been bookmarked by providers worldwide. If there's a link you've found to be useful please let me know and I'll add it. Many sites come and go. If you should notice a link is now outdated please let me know. My goal is to revisit and spend some more time with this "dinosaur" site in 2020. I'm still a proud papa as far as this site (one of the original pharmacy sites on the web still standing) goes. It's one of the reasons I was honored with a Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019. Sadly, I have to divide what limited time I have between this historical relic as well as my Facebook (where the photos are) and LinkedIn sites.
There's a world of pharmacy opinions out in the blog-o-sphere! One blog of note is DrugChannels.net, a well-thought out site pertaining to drug distribution. Dr. Fein's observations and his fans' comments are always interesting.
Additionally, The Thriving Pharmacist written by Michael Deninger from Iowa, is a very well thought out blog which I highly recommend.

"cutting edge" experiences ranging from the development of home epidural infusions, developing an award-winning home infusion alternative for HIV patients, or preparing human serum eyedrops for lupus patients. All
this and a day job too!
Yes, I'm the pharmacist who worked with a local pain specialist to develop high dose (beyond Duraclon) intrathecal
clonidine/opiate therapy in this area. My paper describing this therapy was presented December 9th, 1997 in Atlanta at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting (which was ages ago). If you're interested in this [history] project (which involves
