@cynthia_tss and jerk - Okies thanks lots for the direction! In the library there is currently only 3 copies of the Pharmacists/Pharmaceutical Journal.. You'd think that with such a huge batch of pharmacy students every intake they'd take the pains to order more copies. But yeah I'll refer to the librarians about it... thanks!

@youngkies - I'm interested in the research stuff... but I hate it when the articles read: so-and-so drug MAY help to combat so-and-so disease. I say if it's just MAY, then don't put it up la... buat suspense only but then I think it's not in my place to judge... as a working and qualified pharmacist what do you think?

@youngkies - I understand that. But what I'm saying is that if the drug is not proven to be 100% effective in curing a symptom or a disease, then I say don't put it up. They may be laymen like me who read it and think that oh maybe I should give it a shot. But then I understand that they publish it as 'MAY' to let people know that so-and-so research is going on...

@youngkies and jerk - I see I see.... Well the pharmaceutical industry is always developing and is super competitive these days. With technology getting more advanced, there's always hope for discovery of new stuff, though the way I see it, there's been some kind of drug or treatment (though not all promises 100% cure of course) for virtually all illnesses except for some like AIDS and cancer. But it's not to say impossible. That's why pharmacy appeals to me... there's the option of specialising in dispensing or continue on to drug research and development, though before you two slam me or anything I know that it's easier said than done, and drugs take ages to discover, develop and refine.
