Utah AA bill
There is a bill being floated around for the acceptance of AAs in Utah. CRNAs are coming out in droves, not just from Utah, but the country spreading a lot of misinformation. The comments section is wild! As physicians we need to be united in the same cause.

Quit pharmacy profession and life got better
I quit my pharmacist job as new grad just after working for 6 months in retail. After quitting I took One year off to take care of my mental health and figure out what career I want to pursue.

Peds Pfizer vaccine
I wanted to get other health care professionals opinion on this.
Our pharmacy has received peds pfizer vaccine and began giving them last week.

Kicking, screaming and throwing her arms around. Clearly, it was not safe for me to give the vaccine so I explained to the mom that it would be better if she goes to her...
