Peter Frerichs

Welcome! My name is Peter Frerichs, and I am a contract writer and consultant. I work across a range of industries, and I'm primarily centered on articles/blogs, B2C and B2B marketing collateral, proposals for non-profits, interviews, market research, and some occasional humor that I would be thrilled to do more of :)

I hold a Master's degree in Public Administration/Public Policy from the University of Southern California and have overseas living and working experience in Latin America.

Rates are determined per project, and I always provide an initial skeleton/draft and even some sample writing for first-time clients (free of charge, of course).

Expiring Pharmaceutical Patents - How to Mitigate the Fall

When pharmaceutical patents expire, a revenue drop follows as generic drugs enter the market. Depending on the size of the revenue share for the company, an expiring pharmaceutical patent can be a drop akin to a handful of stairs or a cliff. Pharmaceutical patent cliffs are not new, but the size of the impending cliff has the industry concerned. By 2030, approximately 190 drugs will lose pharmaceutical patent protection. Historically speaking, the last decade also featured some pricey expirations.

In-Home Caregiver Services Fit Naturally with Company DEI Initiatives

While resources are needed for the implementation of any new program, in-home private caregiving is one of the more cost-effective. Workplace burnout is a constant challenge. The American Psychological Association’s “2022 Trends Report” found approximately 80% of employees were recently undergoing workplace stress and 60% reported observable negative effects.

Automized Eye Drops

According to the National Eye Institute (NEI), by age 80, over half of all Americans either have cataracts or have undergone cataract surgery. This is a staggering figure and why cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed on a global scale. In a normal eye, a clear lens helps to focus light or images on the retina. Once light passes through the lens and hits the retina, it is changed into nerve signals, which are subsequently sent to the brain. If the lens is cloudy due to a cataract, the image one sees, in turn, will be blurred.

Companionship Home Care Can Help When Navigating Choppy Waters

The pandemic threw some monkey wrenches into our collective plans. The economy remains in a worrying situation with Zoom, Dell, Spotify, Salesforce, Vimeo, and others having shed up to 15% of their workforce. Overall numbers lept from 40,368 layoffs in December to 107,010 by January 2023. But employers are not without resources. In fact, benefits programs that feature home assistant care for their employees are an excellent way to lessen a burden that is increasingly being borne by more and more Americans every year.

A big reason as to how a pandemic becomes a pandemic is lack of preparation and foresight. Granted, preparing for something as catastrophic as COVID-19 would have taken a colossal, collaborative effort of dozens upon dozens of countries for years leading up to 2020. At some point, a handful would have backed out (and did), wondering if this “pending pandemic” was really a possibility. Like the Mayan predictions of the world ending, governments aren’t spending time and money constructing elaborate bunkers until it does.

A Needle Within a Needle

A short time ago the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the One & Only Campaign, a high profile initiative that seeks to eliminate unsafe medical injections. One needle, one injection, one time. Since 2001, CDC reports over 150,000 US patients have been notified of potential exposure to viruses such as Hepatitis B and C as well as HIV due to healthcare providers reusing syringes. Sterilization is common, but clearly far from perfect.
