“I often liken the world of pharmacy to the term ‘cutless surgery,’” said Dr. Pam. “Whom does the community patient come to regarding the correction of a physical or psychological occurrence but the pharmacist, who through their knowledge of clinical pharmacy can offer the proper referral or medication to correct these things without actually entering the amazing human body.”
