APP cough-frence.
If you heard hacking and
spluttering during APP, you
may have been sitting close to
Pharmacy Daily editor, Alex Walls.
One previous interviewee sitting
in the next seat, to whom I’d only
spoken to over the phone, said
“Alex? I recognise the cough!”
We enjoyed interacting with
Twitter readers, in particular
the #pharmacypickuplines hash
tag spawned from Nick Logan’s
presentation.
@cowen_85 came up with “Do
you come here often?” and “Are
you a pulmonary embolism?
Because you took my breath
away” while @A_Tass1 offered
“Do you have something for
tired legs? You’ve been running
through my mind all day.”
WORD association - rats/beer?
Working out how to engage
students in a project to rid
Wellington of rats, New Zealand
businessman Gareth Morgan used
word association with his team.
“We thought: “How do we
appeal to students?”, so we
sat down and said: “What do
students like? Beer”, and when
you do word association -
students/ beer, student flats/rats -
got it,” Morgan told Orange News.
Morgan supplies rat traps and
gives a beer for every rat the
students bring in, dead or alive.
RESURRECTION morning.
A 78 year old Mississipi man
awoke to find himself in a body
bag and being prepared for
embalming.
His breathing and kicking were
noticed by funeral home staff and
he was released with the medical
staff saying his pacemaker
must have started up again
after no pulse being detectable
in the hospice where he was
finishing his days with end-stage
cardiovascular disease.
Unfortunately he did actually die
just two weeks later Yahoo News
reports.
