What have you recently learned?

Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! After all these years I’ve learned not to expect too much.

. . .here are my thoughts.

What have you recently learned?

As a pharmacist—or “drug expert”—I must continue studying throughout my career.  Medical information continues to change and advance. I must keep abreast of these advancements, while also reminding myself of info that’s slipped from my memory due to lack of use. And, embarrassingly, there’s always information I really should have already known, yet never recall learning. Experts in any profession will know more about their craft than you can ever hope to, yet they’ll always remain a student of their field. While studying a Pharmacist’s Letter resource titled “Answers to Burning Questions About Kidney Stones,” I learned that Han Chinese are one of 56 ethnic groups in China, yet compromise greater than 90% of all Chinese people.  How exactly does this relate to pharmacy or kidney stones?  Leave that worry to the drug expert. Instead, I’d like you to contemplate what this means in a historic sense.  The 426-year reign of the Han dynasty 2 millennia ago continues to exhibit genetic dominance today. Those genes play an outsized role in how best to prevent kidney stones in Han Chinese living today. Looky there, I got a history lesson and became a better pharmacist!
