My wife shared her Kindle version of a recently published medical thriller in which a clinical pharmacist, Michael McCabe actually is the lead character. A' Casual Contact is a novel which puts on clear display the elements of contemporary clinical pharmacy practice in the intensive care unit settings of a major medical center. These elements are woven into a fast-paced story which touches routine pharmacy practice and both collaborative as well as confrontational interactions with physicians, nurses, and other pharmacists. The ability of a pharmacist to lead a clinical study of an investigational antiviral agent is a focus of the story and results in very stimulating reading with a most exciting conclusion. Michael's character has certainly broadened my horizon with regard to expanding roles for clinical pharmacists.

What's with the extraneous apostrophe in the title? Nice to see that people are self-publishing novels about pharmacists now, I suppose.
Several years ago, there was a movie called "Don't Shoot The Pharmacist". It features one of the guys who was on "Cash Cab" but last time I checked isn't on Netflix. Has anyone seen it? Yes, it's a comedy.
When I was in school, we had to read a novel called "Strong Medicine" that is still in print and is still used in medical ethics classes. It's about corruption in a pharmaceutical company, in addition to personal drama experienced by the characters.

Meh...
The only pharmaceutical thriller that I need is the Provasic fraud and murders from The Fugitive.

The only question in my mind is which one of today's manufacturers would commit fraud and whack a few people to get a drug onto the market. Actually, that's not a question at all...
