Grind and sniff

On tomshardware.com recently, there was an excellent article about drug use/prescription drug abuse among the uber nerdy PC gaming community. Here is a link for you;

In my opinion, this is a must read for anyone in the pharmacy industry. Its odd to read this detailed account of what happens in a very typical suburban area. I couldn't help but picture my neighborhoods and houses and their rooms while reading the story. I'm sure the same holds true for many other readers.

I struggle to know what conclusions to draw from the article. I will mention, however, that I can help but feel validated for all the times I have been suspicious of people and the prescriptions they hand in. I think I'll call on every controlled Rx I get tomorrow.

School's in session

I swear, I could hear the ringing of the local school's bell and no sooner did my phone also ring. It was an MD office calling in a script for some kid and his Zithromax suspension. Haven't mixed one of those in months, exactly when school got out for the Summer. Stock up, schools in session suckers.
