Book Description
Pharmacology doesn't have to be hard! Here's why: At Medical Creations, we are firm believers of the notion that the best way to learn a new topic is first to understand the fundamentals. Once you know the fundamentals, you will be able to understand the bigger picture. If you don't understand the bigger picture, forcing yourself to memorize any details becomes that much harder. Our Pharmacology book is meant to give you a good understanding of the topic before you can dive into the details with other, more extensive pharmacology books. The goal is to have you understand rather than memorize. It's a great alternative to the thicker and more expensive pharmacology books if you are studying for an exam and you just want a quick recap, or if you are just starting out and you want an overview. The purpose of this pharmacology book is to serve as a reference manual and a comprehensive study guide for medical, nursing, and paramedic students. For easy understanding of this complex subject, the book has been divided into multiple units based on each body system. The addition of multiple-choice questions will make it easier for you to remember the information from previous chapters. The key therapeutic drug classes for each major system have been outlined in separate chapters. Bullet points and tables make the content easy to understand. Pharmacology is a constantly evolving field, and new drugs are being developed every day. The main aim of this book is to familiarize the reader with the different categories of drugs. The most commonly prescribed drugs are described here, but the book is by no means exhaustive and does not cover all the drugs available today. For detailed descriptions of the latest drugs on the market, and less commonly prescribed drugs, the reader is referred to one of the more exhaustive textbooks of pharmacology. This book will help you: * ..Have a clear understanding of pharmacology * ..Learn about different groups of drugs, the pharmacokinetics, and the pharmacodynamics * ..Find pharmacology much more bearable Go to the top-right of the page and click "Add to Cart"

Book Description
A horrible experience with a fellow student has left Cara with absolutely no confidence nor respect for any man. She has closed everyone out and become a total hermit, except attending classes and rushing back to her room. Prince charming arrives on the scene after four months and persuades her to open all the inner secrets. Only after spilling everything and crying on his shoulder was Cara able to begin returning to this world. Being a senior in Veterinary School at Texas A&M, added to the charm of this handsome, polished gentleman who showed the patience of Job and the personality of Ronald Reagan. A mixed practice of Veterinary Medicine in East Texas proves quite exciting, especially with a beautiful, young, flirtatious, blonde assistant, who attracts more clients than the Veterinarian. Phil's devout, religious home life, from childhood, was the only thing which prevented a total disaster. Marvin, the old high school buddy, who was always maneuvering just below the surface, started the chaos and then it snow balled into a domino like kidnapping. When incest in Rusk County' hit the internet, everything seemed to fall apart at once. The sheriff and chief deputy were in the Canadian wilderness, elk hunting, so the world suddenly stopped functioning. The most compassionate and sensible thing Phil ever did was forgive Butch Garfold, who later came to his rescue. The total psychopath is finally captured the second time and removed from society.
