Vie d'or : memoirs of a pharmaceutical physician

These are the memoirs of Dr. David R. Glover's professional career in pharmaceutical medicine.

His formative school and undergraduate years led to a unique and remarkable journey through medicine and medicines.

Like many medical careers there were a number of twists and turns which encompassed clinical and academic medicine, clinical research and drug development.

He touched upon or was deeply involved with most types of medicines from simple pills and potions through to stem cells.

He has recalled many anecdotes relating to the drugs, the people and the events that enriched his career and included some rarely seen illustrations of old medicines and personal photographs.

This is not an in-depth pharmacological treatise but it is sufficiently detailed where merited, particularly regarding the infamous "clinical trial that went wrong" in 2006.

In his Vie D'or the reader will find that he enjoyed more than his fifteen minutes of fame.
