Toxicology & Pharmacology!

Last week I was on Toxicology and Pharmacology. We didn't really do a whole lot of clinical stuff so this will be a short one. Most of the time we were in the classroom (there were about 8 of us on the rotation) and we just went over different cases and the drugs and fluids you used in each case and why. We were in the pharmacy for a bit and got to make up solutions and actually made some pills (clavamox) which was interesting just to see how it's done. Finally the only other thing we did was go to the ASPCA animal poison control center which is in Urbana. This was pretty cool because it gets calls from the entire country and so we got to hear a lot of different cases people called in. This week I am on regulatory medicine (like USDA stuff) so will update again Friday!
