The forerunner of today's pharmacist, the apothecary procured, mixed, and evaluated medications. The role of the apothecary-pharmacist has undergone many changes over the centuries.

Today, the pharmacist is primarily a dispenser of drugs already formulated and manufactured by pharmaceutical

I have spent my time as a student pharmacist learning about opportunities within clinical pharmacy and making certain that I was equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed. In my pursuit, I became an active member of pharmaceutical organizations, held multiple leadership positions, attended clinical conferences, established research projects, participated in community service events, and other initiatives. I excelled academically, which was manifested in not just a high academic standard but also in tutoring fellow classmates and arranging sessions with other pharmacy students to help them improve time management and study skills. I shadowed pharmacists and residents before my advanced pharmacy practice experiences commenced to discover which areas of clinical pharmacy I found intriguing. I have obtained valuable pharmacy practice experiences in five specialties thus far including inpatient internal medicine, long term acute care, geriatrics and telehealth, and primary care. Through these rotations, I built upon the knowledge I acquired from my didactic courses but also developed patient-centered approaches and strengthened my clinical skills. I enjoyed many aspects of my rotations, including contributing pharmacotherapy recommendations, providing patient education, attending rounds and interdisciplinary team meetings – all of which have solidified my desire
“No rights which the white man was bound to respect,” (Deis) was what the Chief Justice Robert. B Taney said to me as as he hit the table with his gavel, ending my ten year fight for freedom. I’m Dred Scott, and I was born around 1800 or so to the Blow family—who were farmers—with other slaves in Virginia. I grew up with the Blow family’s children and my original name was Sam until my older brother died and I took his name, Dred (Dred Scott Biography).
In 2015, the pharmaceutical industry spent over 27 billion dollars on advertising. The two greatest components of this effort were promotional advertising and free medication sampling, which the pharmaceuticals invested 15.5 and 5.7 billion dollars respectively (“Persuading the Prescribers”). Promotional advertising involves direct contact with health professionals, the most common being extravagant lunch conferences held for physicians and their staff. On the other hand, sampling involves distributing free sample of medications to physicians, who then have a choice of providing these samples to patients. As a result of these methods, the industry has seen revenue around $400 billion with 90% of physicians having a relationship with a drug company (Campbell 2007). Moreover, the prices of prescriptions continue to rise; a copay of a generic drug is $11.72, preferred brand drug is $36.37 and a specialty drug is $58.37 (Coleman and Geneson 2014). Although the profits are immense in the numbers demonstrated above, it is no surprise when pharmaceutical drug companies elevate their prices even more. For instance, recently Turing Pharmaceuticals raised the price of their medication Daraprim from $13.50 to $750. Keep in mind, this medication is used for threatening parasitic infections, aids, and cancer with alternative options currently found to be inefficient (Pollack 2015). Another example of this practice involves cycloserine, a drug used to

In Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat” (1843), Poe creates a gothic narrative that exceeds the suspicions of the audiences predeterminations. Throughout the entirety of his piece Poe creates a scene that continuously leaves his readers wondering what was happening next.

The physician, Dr. Petrov, wanted to provide medications to his homeland through Project Assist. He was willing to take expired medications with him from the local hospital. Other clinical data required to effectively analyze this case include the types of medications involved, the expiration date, and how the patients will be monitored for side effects. Different classes of medications demonstrate different properties. If one medication expires tomorrow with no change in its safety and efficacy, it does not mean another medication have no change as well. It is also important for us to know the expiration date because most medications that have been expired for a longer period of time tend to be much less effective.

Taxation can be traced back to the colonists, when they were severely taxed by Great Britain on multiple items from tea to business documents that were mandatory to be stamped by the Stamp Act. Throughout the history of the United States, the tax system has evolved dramatically. Initially tariffs, or taxes, provided the primary source of revenue for the government. Consumption and Income taxes were announced years apart from each other. Consumption taxing was first developed in 1974 by William Andrews. While Income taxing was first developed in 1894 and was passed by the Wilson-Gorman tariff. Both taxes were made for completely opposite reasons. Income taxes were originally made to help pay for any revenue that would be lost by tariff reductions.
