Mechanisms of action of common drugs - visualizations of the biochemical
pathways, without being just a bunch of movie clips

Dose dependence of toxicity - both that there can be too much of a good

is toxic at a lower dose.  Digitalis is one example, but there are plenty of
others.

says she would expect to see stuff about transition from folk medicine to
biochemical medicine and how we got pharmacists as a separate profession
since physicians used to compound and prescribe medicine themselves.
