About this listen
Clinical pharmacology is often one of the most challenging topics for healthcare professionals. This is a compilation of my favorite case scenarios, drug interactions, and clinical pearls from my practice as a clinical pharmacist. This book is a perfect piece of education for pharmacists, nurse practitioners, physicians, physician assistants, and nurses who are looking to pick up real-life clinical practice pearls about medication management. It is ideal for the new professional or student trying to gain more confidence when it comes to medication management.

For many, drug interactions are one of the most frustrating challenges in family medicine, geriatrics, and ambulatory care practice.

Throughout the book, I share some of my management tips and pearls to help you feel more comfortable with managing drug interactions.

Story
New medications can unknowingly cause adverse effects that prompt new diagnoses and new prescriptions to manage those adverse effects. What the patient is left with is a vicious cycle called the prescribing cascade that leads to more medication, worsening health, and a feeling of helplessness that they will be taking several medications for the rest of their life. I designed this book to help healthcare professionals identify the prescribing cascade and the collateral damage that can result on account of polypharmacy.

Story
I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom your professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.

With triplet eight-year-old daughters, I don't get four-hour study blocks in a quiet corner of the library. I get an hour here or 15 minutes there. This book is for those commuters, busy parents, and working students who need a "fit it in" approach to studying pharmacology. This book has multiple rapid-fire questions, answers, rationales, and mnemonics that you can do alone or with a partner to help you understand pharmacology better and remember the content longer.

Empathy is in short supply. We struggle to understand people who aren’t like us, but find it easy to hate them. Studies show that we are less caring than we were even 30 years ago. In 2006, Barack Obama said that the United States was suffering from an “empathy deficit.” Since then, things seem to have only gotten worse. In this groundbreaking book, Jamil Zaki shares cutting-edge research, including experiments from his own lab, showing that empathy is not a fixed trait - something we’re born with or not - but rather a skill that can be strengthened through effort.

When Bo Seo was 8 years old, he and his family migrated from Korea to Australia. At the time, he did not speak English, and, unsurprisingly, struggled at school. But, then, in fifth grade, something happened to change his life: he discovered competitive debate. Immediately, he was hooked. It turned out, perhaps counterintuitively, that debating was the perfect activity for someone shy and unsure of himself. It became a way for Bo not only to find his voice, but to excel socially and academically. And he’s not the only one.

What Sher discovered is that some individuals simply cannot, and should not, decide on a single path; they are genetically wired to pursue many areas. Sher calls them “Scanners”—people whose unique type of mind does not zero in on a single interest but rather scans the horizon, eager to explore everything they see.

Excellent context and a great refresher course!
I loved the clinical pearls! They’re very practical and are normally encountered in the health care practice. With the growing list of medications and multiple drug interactions, this book is highly recommended to the newly grads as well as to those that have been in practice for years. Kudos to the author, the narrator, and the book itself!

Eric is the perfect audible orator
This book was extremely well done by Eric Christianson. A soothing and enjoyable voice made listening a pleasure . He made a very difficult subject not only easier to understand by giving examples, pearls, and lists. I’m quite OCD and loved the organization of chapters, case studies and overall attention to detail particularly in the elderly. Well done!

Fantastic for New and Old Providers
As a Midlevel APRN working in an area where patients can not travel to internal medicine doctors to manage multiple comorbidities, this book is so worth it! It really ties together the need for medication clarifications as well as interactions. Less is truly more many times. It drives home the importance of really getting to the bottom of The “WHY” patients are on the medications they are on and maximizing one medication before thinking about adding another if possible! Very helpful!
