I always feel for my patients who have to spend the holidays in the hospital. Especially the ones who don't really have anyone coming to visit them. Do any of you do anything special for your patients around Christmas?

Are you working with the elderly like I am? Because yes, it's definitely a bummer seeing people without visitors around this time of year. I try to spend as much time as I can with them and attend the little events our facility has for Christmas and Hannuka to chat with them.

Same here. And there's only so much we can do.

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing. I think people will become enraged or indifferent enough to allow the federal government to take over healthcare. How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.

Recently, some of my family members are diagnosed with a rare diseases. When you look at the statistics, these are so many of these ‘rare’ conditions and cumulatively they are not rare.
