Almoooooost!

This time when I volunteered at the clinic, I got to work in the pharmacy again. I really enjoy working there, because although I don't get a lot of one-on-one interaction with patients, I at least feel a little bit more part of the action. If I spoke more Spanish I would be able to interact with them more. However, I really enjoy getting to learn about the different medications and logging systems that they clinic uses. It makes me realize just how organized they have to be, and I feel that this is the perfect fit for me because I am a highly organized person and am fairly good at following directions. It is difficult sometimes when patients come in with chronic diseases, and I know that they have these chronic disease because of the medications to which they are prescribed. On the outside, they just appear to be ordinary people, and someone else would never even know that he or she is sick. On the other hand, it's always interesting to find out just how many people are prescribed Viagra! All judgement and jokes aside, it is really interesting to find out what drugs are prescribed for what and in what amounts. I'm going to miss my time here in the pharmacy, and I really enjoy working with these people.
