Working in the city only made it worst . People were more educated , for sure ! But they trusted Dr GOogle more than their trusty pharmacist. Every advice given ended with a rebuttal - "but Google said ..... "
I was fed up ... I really didn't know where I was going with my career . If I went back to uni ,to do a post graduate or even medicine. My outcome will still be the same.
You see patients selling their drugs for money , going without their kids antibiotics because they money for smokes , kids getting sicker due to parent neglect . Even ringing the Drs about your concern for the patient seem hopeless. Some Drs are nice , but there's a few that think they're God sent . I've learned to smooth things over . Select a few choice words to soothe their alter ego . You get abused by Drs and patients alike . Drs thinking pharmacists are like kulis and patients blaming you for the cost of their medicine. One patient told me that he was gonna come back and murder me , rape me , then dump me at the back of the pharmacy cause his pills cost him $30 for 3 months. All that abuse .. for $30.
See... I think I've lost faith in humanity. I used to be this caring person . This caring pharmacist who'll do anything for their patient. I wish I had my mojo back.
I read a story of a friend. Whose partner is a bit of a difficult personality. Has some deep seated emotional stuff going , and physically unwell. They're not well off , has quite a bit of debt . On top of that they are expecting and well things aren't peachy. He went out of his way , above and beyond for a total stranger . Won't say what he did , cause that will be a whole story by itself . Anyways , at the end of his good deed , the stranger asked him why he had stopped by to help . And my friends partner replied " if it were you , you would do the same " .
I guess what I'm trying to say is ... I should help . Expect nothing in return , no expectations . Just do it .even if it leads no where.
