Show PRENATAL MEDICATIONS (Pharmacology) The old stories recount the incident of Mohammed going to the mountain because the mountain refused to come to Mohammed. We, however, as sophomore students had an entire mountain of pharmacological information delivered at our very doorsteps in an almost palatable form. It cannot be denied that this fantastic task was accomplished only after a gargantuan effort by the Pharmacology department led by the charasmatic Dr. Goodman. Unfortunately it must be considered just short of miraculous that we participated in such Herculean educational activities and now have so damn little to show for it. Our present paucity of pharmacological savvy surely ·belies the sincere and dedicated effort in our behalf by each member of the department. To be sure, such sancrosanct dictums as: the dose of a drug is enough; it is verboten to use fixed dose combinations; and, don,t be the last to discard an old drug or the first to use a new, have served to bind us solidly to the more rationally sound facets of medical practice. Even though the verbage associated with giving an aspirin for a headache in the Blue Bible outstripped the eloquent Isaiah, we learned to respect honest research even if it occasionally appears recondite. To the faculty then of the Pharmacology department, an expression of gratitude for your honest efforts. May the future find them more appropriate to student needs. Nothing is 100% certain! 20 |
