| Introduction | Conservative. Because of my scientific background, my opinions are based upon factual evidence, not on politically biased opinion I like to listen to all points of view, including ones that differ from mine. Have now been a pharmacist for over 50 years, including 20 years working for Ministry of Health as an Advisory Pharmacist where I was much involved in inspecting/advising pharmacies and setting standards of good practice. Being a pharmacist I learned over and over to assess situations and medicines based upon specific evidence, i.e. clinical trials. I apply this approach still. |
