Why I decided to blog? For me is a small need to share my experiences, reached more patients, express opinions and hopefully help others.
There are many Pharmacists wanting their voices to be represented, and that means a whole lot of Pharmacists with posts. Blogs such as: The Redheaded Pharmacist, Pharmacist’s Place, The Blonde Pharmacist, Confessions of a young pharmacist, Love Being a Pharmacist , The Dispenser Diaries, FAST FOOD Pharmacy, last refills, The Pharmacy Chick and Pharmacy Times; just to name a few. So, you might be asking yourself how is this blog going to be different than those listed above? My blog will be directed more to the patients, occasionally I will direct blogs to student pharmacist, other pharmacist and health care providers. I want to make the chronic patient the main audience for my blog, I want to inform, motivate and help patients take control of their own health.
The best part of my job is the interaction that I have with patients, being able to help them help themselves. I will try to make my blogs short and inspirational for those who are dealing with chronic disease. Everything from information on disease states like diabetes to information about medications and motivational talks about becoming an informed and in control of their own lives.
