My Drug Notes *** New ***
What's in the Drug Bag? *** New ***
The following table contains links to download slides for pharmacology. There are only two different batches of slides - "Pharmacology I-II" and "Pharmacology III". They are each posted in three different formats: full size (1 slide/page) in color, four slides/page in color, and four slides/page in black and white. Other than the format all versions are identical. The "Four Up B&W" will print the fastest and the full size version will use 4x as much paper. Take a look at the different formats and see what works best for you. They are posted in Adobe Acrobat format so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't already have it, you can download it for free from Adobe's Web Site (click here to get it).

*** Read about the apparent error in Glucagon Med Handout. Glucagon Error ***
Here are the med handouts for the rest of our lives (just kidding, there's probably more). Ok, a couple of things about them. Yes, I know #10 isn't there; it wasn't on the disk Andy gave to me. Additionally I noticed there is some overlap in #'s 17, 17a, 18, and 18a. I don't know what the similarities and differences are. Lastly, as Andy handed me the disk he told me that these are subject to change. So heads up, I don't know what that means and I suspect the changes won't be huge, but expect some changes ... 'nuff said. In any case, at least we have them and can get a head start on things.
