From the Editors Desk:
Last
week I shared with you an experience I had with a newly diagnosed
patient. Many of you sent me comments about the care the patient
received. Now, for an update, I called the office on Monday and the
nurse informed me “That’s the way we do it, we don’t want to
overwhelm the patient. Thanks for helping her.” I asked if they had an
educator on staff and she responded, “Why do you need to know you are
only a pharmacist.” Needless to say I have an appointment to speak
with the Endocrinologist next week.

everyone thinks it is) Click

Last
week Dr. Richard Bernstein gave us his method of cardiovascular exercise
that I tried and increased my calories burned by 45%. I started on
an epiliptical stepper at about 74 rpm and a heart rate of 144 max.
After 5 days of using Dr. Bernstein’s method I was at about 70 rpm at
an average 161 heart rate. My former calorie burn for 25 minutes was 328
while using his method my calorie burn was 585. Learn more by clicking
