I crown you a Nurse Journalist and Archivist RN. I can't get enough medical history in- obvious now after Miltown, shock therapy, and Tuskeegee why they call it "Practice."

Dec 10, '12 by TihrgrI do not remember Phenobarbital in the 60's as a capsule. I use to have Epilepsy and back then I had various doses of a tablet, but never a capsule. - Dec 10, '12 by ktwlpnMaybe Jagger and Richards used "yellow" because they wanted two syllables?
