I'm an RN and your podcasts help keep me informed. Your voices are so pleasant and kind that I really look forward to each new episode. The world needs more folks like you. You guys are a great team. Keep up the good work.

You need to get on the radio in Chicago. My mom lives there, and would like to hear your show every week.

PEOPLE'S PHARMACY RESPONSE:

We would LOVE to be on public radio in Chicago. Our syndicated newspaper column is in the Chicago Tribune. Perhaps you mom could talk Torey Malatia (the emperor of WBEZ-FM) in chicago to carry the show!

By the way...our show is FREE to all public radio stations in the country. Anyone who would like to hear it can just ask the local NPR affiliate to contact us!

04/29/10 Read your article in today's San Bernardino SUN Re: "Doctors sometimes deaf when patients reveal their med side effects". Found it most interesting and informative as I am experiencing side effects that our family doctors seem to be "deaf" to my complaints. I have been prescribed Coumadin, Sotalol, and Simvastatin, and have been experiencing balance problems, leg weakness, loss of strength in my hands, and so on.

The doctor's response is that these meds are not the cause, but offers no positive remedies; all claim these meds are not responsible. In spite of their reactions, I am continuing to experience balance problems, leg & hand weakness, being jittery, unsteady walking. Although I am now 80 years old, I still am looking to water ski this Summer. Last summer, I was unable to ski due to losing the ski rope attempting my deep water starts. However, after stopping the Coumadin, I was able to then make my starts and skied around the whole lake to celebrate my 80th birthday. Interesting!!!

That's a great job, its so pleasant and kind that I really look forward to each new episode. Keep rocking.
