Don’t shoot the pharmacist…

Saw a trailer the other day for “Don’t Shoot the Pharmacist”, a movie directed by Dave Broitman, who is also a pharmacist and a fan of MMA…Starring Ben Bailey (Cash Cab), Godfrey (Phat Girlz, Soul Plane, 7-up Spokesman), Steve Byrne (Comedy Central) and Ardie Fuqua (VH1, MTV)…

I’ve always said that since there are movies and tv shows about EVERY other area of medicine, why not one about pharmacy??…

It looks hilarious, check it out for yourself below:

Anyone who works in a pharmacy, be it retail or hospital, private or otherwise, knows how most “normal” days go…

Within 15 seconds of your grand entrance, any one (if not all) of the following are happening…

Customers/patients are in a screaming rush to get their meds because “you always take forever w/MY stuff”, the phone is ring-ring-ringing off the hook, doctors and nurses are tossing you around mentally a bit, everything that can go wrong does go wrong and you’re stuck in the middle of that forest fire w/o even a thimble of water…

You’d think that more ppl would understand why I want to punch ppl in the face daily…Sometimes twice daily…

Underlying meaning, this is ONE of the reasons why I train…

Stress relief pics to follow…

So, I finally have a website…I’m not sure that this website will be ENTIRELY about MMA…Where to start??…

Yeah, I know now…

Many a person has asked me, “what makes a pharmacist want to be a fighter?”…This is a reasonable question, as most ppl consider pharmacists to be a fairly benevolent breed, complete with horn-rimmed glasses and a bowtie…

And professionally, there exists a sort of raised eyebrow look that accompanies the thought of a ‘respectable’ medical professional hopping in a cage and fighting another man…
