EDIT: To clarify, I’m talking strictly about financial ROI. Pharmacist wages have stagnated, but the point is how the degree compares financially to other graduate paths and how hard it is to break into the top 10% of earners in general. This also doesn’t speak to job quality, which matters a lot. A

UPDATE: While the family doctor said it was a stomach bug, the ER Doctor said it was a mild/beginnings of rabdo.

I think most of us have experienced healing that can itch and I always assumed it had to do with the skin, but I recently fractured the middle bone of my left fifth toe and it has the same itchy sensation as it has begun to heal (no fungi, pinky-toe promise!).
