oh what joys and pains you've brought me. I can explain the pharmacodynamics of adenosine because of you, but damn you when a test question drew on your wisdom of the dopamine hydrochloride dosage phenomena and it's mcg/kg/min formula infusion questions!

For a 2019 print edition of a medical textbook, one would expect consistency, through editing procedures, and less repetition of information from paragraph to paragraph, page to page. The book got me through my course, but I found it sorely lacking and full of either errors or poor editing. I found myself checking more reputable sources online to ensure I was learning correct information. The opportunity to provide useful knowledge in the Mechanism of Action portion of the drug profiles was lost to repetition from the previous two sections of the profile and information on how the drug is formatted or used, rather than how it works to affect the body. My class is complete, you won't find it in my medical library of resources anymore. Mr Bledsoe, this textbook was a disappointment.

Pharm is not my greatest subject. This went into some detail on pharmacokinetics, but some of the info on the medications was outdated and unimportant.
