On top of the opportunity to advocate for the pharmacy profession today at PSW Legislative Day, I am ecstatic to announce I matched at Froedtert Main Campus as a PGY1 Acute Care Resident!

Thank you to my mentors, preceptors, professors, and those who have shown me love :)

I know :((( it sucks leaving a pharmacy you have been a regular at…. Hopefully we’ll see change soon :)

Most likely the pharmacist reached out to the doctor to have a new prescription sent for 30 days after explaining the situation to them

Corrupt Middlemen Are The Real Reason Drug Prices Keep Increasing YouTube video by More Perfect Union

As MAHA Looms, a Look Back on MAGA’s Big HCQ Lie - WhoWhatWhy The paper behind Trump’s “game changer” COVID-19 cure has finally been retracted, but the damage is done — with many snake oil salesmen headed for Washington.

Residency apps being submitted is WAY more of a relief than I thought it would be… Gonna sleep like a baby tonight 🥰 #pharmsky #PGY1

I like this!

Not only defibrillators (AEDs), fire extinguishers & first-aid kits should be mandated in public spaces

Having EpiPens (auto-injecting devices that contain epinephrine) readily available sounds a nice idea

The key takeaway is that the world’s richest man got what he wanted; stripped our cancer funding for kids, killed reforms to bring down drugs prices and caps on investment in China. Trump on the other hand demanded a debt ceiling raise and got nothing.

Don’t worry—whatever your aunt got you, #ThePoisonLab has the gift you actually wanted:
