\nJim Plagakis<\/p>\n
Why We Like It:<\/p>\n
Jim Plagakis, a professional pharmacist for decades, has been working to improve the lot of pharmacists at retail stores since 2005.\u00a0 He offers a lot of insight — some of it companies would rather keep under the rug — about how your local chain drugstore treats its employees, and how it cuts costs…or raises them for the customer.\u00a0 For insight into what your pharmacist has to put up with just to help people, there’s no better resource.<\/p>\n
pharmalot.com\/ Why We Like It:<\/p>\n Up-to-date news and discussion of everything in pharmaceuticals, especially from a legal standpoint, make this one of the most useful blogs about the pharmaceutical industry on the web.\u00a0 Interesting, engaging, and truthful, Pharmalot shares the stories you won’t hear on the nightly news, and reports them in detail.<\/p>\n 7. PharmaGossip<\/strong><\/p>\n pharmagossip.blogspot.com Why We Like It:<\/p>\n It’s exactly what it says on the label: gossip of all sorts about the pharmaceutical industry.\u00a0 From what\u00a0 drugs are being worked on, to what drugs are being mismarketed, the name belies a serious look at the industry \u2026 and sometimes its misconduct.\u00a0 It also dedicates itself to ripping into spin: if you’ve ever wondering what’s really going on, more often than not, they have the straight dope.<\/p>\n Pipeline.Corante.com Why We Like It:<\/p>\n Derek Howe mixes the science with a keen scientific mind.\u00a0 His posts can be seriously technical one\u00a0 day, and knowledgably discussing human resources decisions at the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world the next.\u00a0 He’s a hard scientist with a business mind…the kind of person perfect for understanding what goes on at the highest levels.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n scientific-misconduct.blogspot.com Why We Like It:<\/p>\n Pharmaceutical research is, to customers, not exactly a clear or even comprehensible field.\u00a0 Unfortunately, sometimes companies take advantage of that in unethical ways…and that’s where Dr. Blumsohn comes in.\u00a0 Whether he’s calling out universities for academic bullying, or analyzing the latest ethical scandal, Dr. Blumsohn says it best: if you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.<\/p>\n 4. The Angry Pharmacist<\/strong><\/p>\n theangrypharmacist.com Why We Like It:<\/p>\n Understandably anonymous, this pharmacist opens both barrels with a raw, sometimes hostile, definitely not safe for work, but always, always funny look at how pharmacists feel about their worst customers and some of the quirks in the American medical system.\u00a0 Oh, and just how much pharmacists hate doctors (quite a lot).\u00a0 Be warned, after reading this, you’ll never view your pharmacist in quite the same way.<\/p>\n pharmacistplace.com Why We Like It:<\/p>\n Offering a bit of a counterbalance to the Angry Pharmacist (in fact, Joey calls that blog out in his About Me section), this is a much kinder and gentler look at how a pharmacist handles his day-to-day duties at major retail outlets.\u00a0 Interesting and often insightful, it really helps you understand the daily work of distributing medication to those in need.<\/p>\n<\/a>8.
