Sports Writer:
Mr. Ray Mirra is now a successful sports writer for the Inquirer, a contributing columnist to the Times-News Enquire, a contributing author to the New York Times, a book writer for several periodicals, and a contributing editor to People magazine. A devout Catholic, he is active in his parish, serving as an elder and spiritual adviser. He is an active participant in many church activities and regularly serves on the board of directors of the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Center. As a pharmacist, he enjoys discussing the latest advances in medical science and has become something of a go to person when it comes to sharing his knowledge.
Mr. Ray Mirra is an interesting contributor to the Philadelphia Flyers blog. He gives tips to both young and old players on how to be a better player, including nutrition, workout routine, and how to manage time better as a professional athlete. In this article, we will take a closer look at one of his favorite books, "Pharmaceuticals: Making Life Better", which he discusses in detail in his book.
We have all heard the famous line, "If it isn't broke, don't fix it." But what about when it comes to your profession? As a successful sports writer for the New York Times, I have had my share of "if it isn't broke, why fix it?" And as a pharmacist, I have to ask, "If it isn't broke, why fix it?" I have seen Pharma techs go through mountains of paperwork, waste thousands of dollars and get stuck with a poorly trained employee, all in the name of improving the flow of the business.

Pharmacy World:
Mr. Mirra says in his book, "The world of pharmacy is not broken. It's just in need of an experienced, knowledgeable, and highly skilled pharmacist who can oversee its daily operations. Many of today's drugs require more than simply reading the prescription drug label. They require a close physical examination." There are more important things to do than simply flip through a magazine to find out what a certain prescription drug does and remember to follow dosing instructions. The health of a patient is truly in the hands of a pharmacist.
That is one of the themes throughout this extremely helpful book. Mr. Mirra outlines several other issues as well, such as pharmacy claims for medications that are not approved by the FDA, overcharging and abuse of prescriptions, and negligence. Each of these areas has been personally affected by someone in my profession or by someone I have known. This book has done an excellent job of covering each of these issues and putting them into perspective for the reader. The majority of the book focuses on important topics like the use of the Internet and EMR integration, but the practical side is covered as well.
