People accidentally eat poisonous mushrooms every summer. I take those calls. So I wrote a children’s book about it. 👇 a.co/d/0ieE2iUH

🧪New study exploring albumin binding in salicylate overdose—very cool work. Albumin ↓ free salicylate in vitro; largest drops required high levels, but simply correcting low albumin was intriguing. Mechanistic, hypothesis-generating. First bench-top study for me! PMID: 41413367

🍄 I wrote a children’s book! Poisonous Fungus Amongus is a fun, rhyming intro to mushroom anatomy, foraging safety, and poisonous look-alikes — a 5–7 min read for kids or any curious nature lover. 👉 a.co/d/bixElRx Reviews help a ton. Thank you! 🙏🍄📘 #books

🚨 Benzonatate can kill—but rarely by accident. Our 20‑year review , serious toxicity (seizure, dysrhythmia, death) was almost entirely seen in intentional cases. Unintentional? Nearly all walked away. Proud of former resident Dr Cicci for leading this! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4051…

When a tweet turns into highlighting #pharmacist value on the front page of @JAMA_current. Shoot your shot💪 An algorithm on Rx cost saving overlooked RPh’s. We spoke up (@MeganARech) on our essential role, our perspective is published today in JAMA! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Nice effort to make a useful infographic to help patients Might have been a good idea to you know, include a pharmacist who does this multiple times per day for their input as well.... oh wait this is the AMA's journal, how do they feel about pharmacists again?
