One of the most important jobs of a caregiver is acting as a pharmacist. Pills don’t always work the way we think they do. Half a pill doesn’t always mean half the strength, and twice the medication can quadruple dangerous side effects. Well-chosen medications soothe our pain, but a rowdy mix will use our body as a battleground. Your best guardian against the complexities of medication is a strong partnership with all of the physicians involved in the patients’ care. My guest is Dr. Moshe Lewis, from SOMA Orthopedics Group in San Francisco, CA, who is always an informative guest.
