Keep a brain in your pocket

Drug Utilization Review
Many a time, my second "brain" I kept in a pocket provided me the information I needed while walking the halls or sitting at my desk as a pharmacy resident. The brain I refer to is not the one inside the skull, but rather, a 3"× 5" notebook nestled in my lab coat. As a resident, I found it invaluable to clip important formulas, conversion charts, and other assorted pearls of wisdom and insert them into my pocket brain.
In an effort to keep my brain growing and to help you grow yours, short pocket-size (yet very important) information will appear in this section in coming issues for you to cut and paste into your second brain. I encourage you to start such a brain if you currently rely solely on the one in your head.
Please e-mail related pearls you find useful to [email protected] so I may share them with your colleagues in future issues of Drug Utilization Review.
