An encounter with a police officer reminds JP that the world sees pharmacists only as pill counters.

A sizable segment of the medication-using public seems to have decided that "natural" is better than anything pharmaceutical. But nature isn't always harmless.

The business of pharmacy is crushing the profession. The bean counters are running the Prescription Mill right into the ground. And if we don't stop them, who will be left to do our jobs?

Who says the pharmacist's role has changed over the years? Haven't we always helped patients with their dead sea creatures?
