WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"Work is busy and stressful, but if you work with a good crew, and you feel recognized and supported, then there is joy in your work!

However, we need to keep the drugs available to those who can medically benefit from them and who understand responsible use."
