I am guessing you answered no. I would have answered this question similarly, but then I discovered the endless possibilities in solid-organ transplant (SOT) pharmacy. I had the chance to assist in the care of a patient undergoing the first-ever triple-organ transplant consisting of a heart, liver, and kidney in the state of Utah. Never in a million years could I have imagined this—just...

EVALI: The risks of e-cigarette use

E-cigarettes, or vapes, were first invented in 2003 and have increased in popularity as an alternative to smoking.

These events were scrapped as we transitioned to meeting virtually, but...
