Zocor, is pretty cool if you like cool things

I'm here to talk about an amazing thing. That's right. You guessed it, Zocor. It was a beautiful day the day I found out about an onlin version of a free and really trusted mobile drug & formulary guide. The damn thing used to be more than 500K awesome healthcare professionals. Pretty crazy right? Over 3.3K drugs have information that you can access through this mayne! Dosing, pricing, potential drug interactions and Medicare Part D formulary coverage are all on there too. Boo-yah! Check out this guy, he's been using their "products on my PDA for years and find them indispensable to my practice. I think it is wonderful that my colleagues and staff that don’t yet use a PDA can now access the same information online to help them improve patient care." His name? Jacob Wood, MD, assistant professor at the UAB Selma Family Residency Program. Awesome, the product includes formulary information for more than 130 health plans! Alright...but here's tha kicka! This isn't to mention, not even to speak about, hundreds of Medicare Part D formularies! Even this one guy, Wood, says “I encourage all healthcare professionals to use Epocrates products via the Internet or a PDA. They are such a valuable resource and convenient tool that once you try it, you won’t know what you ever did without them.” Now if that isn't awesome, why, then call me Mr. Lame! Clinicians can even subscribe to this thing called, "premium product." Its got like, content and features and stuff for like more than four-hundred alternative medicine monographs, patient education handouts, pill pictures, pill identifier and hundreds of medical tables and calculations. Isn't that the ish??? San Mateo, CA is where the magic happens. They are going to transform the practice of medicine with all of these, really sweet, leading-edge technologies that enable communication man. All in all, they have shown a positive impact on patient safety, healthcare efficiency and patient satisfaction. Fun Fact: they ranked 257 in the 24th annual Inc.500 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the country.! Hoo-ah!
