This Podcast for the FRCA Primary Exam thoroughly explores what is going on within the multi compartmental model that we use to try and comprehend how drugs move through humans.
If you like this, leave me a comment, if you don't, also leave a comment it's a rather mad one - perhaps reflected in the build up to this over the last few episodes.
