For as long as I live, my wife, Janet, and I will never forget that day. A pivotal moment in our career as compounding pharmacists that forever changed everything.

Back in 2001, a morbidly obese patient came into our pharmacy. She was on around 20 different medications, ranging from high blood pressure to diabetes to high cholesterol. And they were costing her...nothing.

We were creating no value in her life. She didn’t care who we were. She didn’t care about the medications. She didn’t care about how they worked, or anything related, because it was costing her nothing....

We were a part of the problem (regardless of economic policy or what’s learned in pharmacy school). Janet and I decided to change our commitment, and thus, our system.

Buy to learn what we did in 2002, as a business and economic solution that was in alignment with our 100-percent commitment to enable others to actually better their health...which leads to better families, which leads to better communities. (And how if you’re a health-care provider, aspiring pharmacology entrepreneur, interested in relevant pragmatic or deconstruction examples, or saving money for your own family - you can make a difference, too.)

Our eyes and hearts were forever opened. Our commitment shifted that day to be a part of a positive solution. Period.

In Sickened: How the Government Ruined Healthcare and How to Fix It, learn Shawn’s six-step framework.

Practical. Proven. Common sense (with a twist). And jaw-dropping patient and provider stories! Buy now, learn, save money, and be empowered.

This book is for current or future pharmacy professionals, pharmacology students interested in learning how to make a real difference, interested in how to run a successful pharmacy business, medical professionals interested in examples and solutions for caregiving and medical ethics....

Plus, for those interested in not only a practical application of the philosophy of pragmatism and deconstruction, but also economic policy in health-care, as it relates to the political science of our American government.

You’re not alone if you’re wondering if making changes in our current health-care system is really a pipe dream, or is doable for the average American today. This is the most exciting time in our country's history - to be a problem-solving, solution-focused health-care entrepreneur today and in the coming decades.

There is a better way and hope for health care in America. Think outside the system, because optimal health matters.
