Body and Mind and Being Kind – Another Drug Artwork

Druggist For The People

Four score and seven minutes ago (about an hour and a half) your physician brought forth, upon her desk, a new prescription, conceived in best medical practice, and dedicated to the proposition that all generics are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civilian war, testing whether that medication, or any medication so conceived, and so dedicated, can help us long endure. And maybe we can feel good at the same time. For forty years as a pharmacist, I've been building bridges - from the doctor to those in need of important drug information - you. With respect for the listener, and from the perspective that it is better to apply a recommended course of therapy than it is to comply with an ordered course, the goal here is not to provide specific answers about your drug therapy, but rather to help you generate the questions that will that will empower you in this. Toward that end, there will be weekly podcasts, very often with guests who will be "the people".

Summary: There are more ways to change your chemistry than taking drugs. Kindness. Being helpful, generous, and considerate – without expecting anything in return – has positive effects upon both the body and mind. But here’s the rub: you must be kind without expecting anything in return. So don’t be kind to be healthy…simply be kind. It’s all easier said than done. This episode also addresses the need for kindness in healthcare, from the healthcare professionals to the patient, and from the patient to the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, therapists – all who are trying to help.
