Imagination, research and development for a new invention at St. Jude Medical is how they conceived the St. Jude Medical Bi-leaflet Prosthetic Heart Valve in 1977 which saved my life in 2007, thirty years later.

We have a shortage of Pharmacists to do what?

A significant shortage of pharmacists exists today. Employers of pharmacists in all practice settings report higher than usual vacancy rates, escalating salaries, and difficulty coping with service demands from increased medication use. The growth of drug insurance coverage has not only improved access and spurred use of prescription drugs, but has also burdened the system with complex and varied coverage.

“I dropped all my pills on the floor and my dog just ate them.”

In this scenario, we try to determine the type and strength of the medication and the number of pills eaten to assess the potential danger to the animal. If risk of danger is deemed very small, observation usually suffices. If there is doubt regarding the risk of danger, we usually advise going to your veterinarian to induce vomiting, then administering charcoal to prevent the absorption of any drug that might still remain.

8 Simple Ideas for Remembering to Take Your Medication
