California makes forensic path P.C.
California, with the blessing of the CAP, has now made it ILLEGAL to use the term “excited delirium” on a death certificate or in an autopsy report because it is “racially charged”, as of 1Jan 24. I have an effective and concise work-around: “human being (no race or gender problem) who was physical-mass-challenged at 150 kg (can’t say obese) who was expressing their rights (can’t we all) by enjoying methamphetamine and experiencing tachycardia (225 b.p.m.) and systolic blood pressure of...

Question about potent Stimulates
I was reading about Desoxyn on Lexicomp and found this interesting tidbit in adverse effects:

The Four CA Schools Opening up
First, we have the biggest offender:
California Health Sciences University: http://chsu.org/
The school looks like it's next to a Rite-Aid, and it's one of those "pop out of nowhere pharmacy schools." In Clovis, Fresno. ACPE Pre-candidate ACCREDITED (wtf). Not WASC Accredited.
West Coast University: http://westcoastuniversity.edu/
The school is a for-profit institution that has been around for a while, but has questionable programs (from what I've...
