Special Report

Kim Ankenbruck has a knack for expressing what many of her fellow pharmacists are thinking, as readers of "Who will stand up for pharmacy?" (February 2014) and "A dose of pharmacy truth: Report from the front lines" (May 2014) will attest. Here, she tackles the question of how you can practice integrity in an environment designed to punish the attempt. And she has some questions for you. Post your answers at www.drugtopics.com, or send them to [email protected].
