The practical first-year handbook for the new inpatient pharmacist. How the pharmacy actually runs, what to check on every order, and what to do when it all hits at once. Judgment and the big picture, not a drug reference.
How the pharmacy runs, who does what, the systems behind the screen, and the shorthand nobody explains.
The reading sequence behind the four-second glance, what you're actually checking, and the high-alert short list.
Antibiotics without panicking, kinetics consults, drips and titrations, and electrolyte repletion.
Triage when the queue explodes, solo nights, questioning a prescriber, the code, and the error you're terrified of.
Why real speed is pattern, not panic, and how to move fast on the routine so you keep full attention for what can hurt someone.
16 chapters, a one-box Handoff recap closing each one, and an alphabetized glossary defining every term in the book. Plus the work-up sequence, the shorthand decoder, and the never-miss checklist.
Lexicomp, UpToDate, and Google have the facts cold. What they can't hand you is the big picture and the judgment: how the whole thing fits together and what to actually do. That takes years to build. This hands it to you on day one, in the voice of the pharmacist who has already been where you are.

When does it ship? No date yet. The manuscript is complete and the book is in production. It goes on sale when it is finished, not before.
What's included? The full Book One as a readable PDF, plus the interactive HTML companion: checklists, the expandable reading sequence, the searchable decoder, and the concept map.
Is this dosing advice? No. It's educational: judgment, workflow, and the big picture, taught the way an experienced pharmacist would. Where a specific dose or regimen makes the point, it's an illustrative teaching example, not a recommendation for a specific patient. Verify against current references and your own institution, and practice within your license.
