Med Clinic
Student Blogger: Fleance
Today in the medical clinic my main job in the pharmacy was to
give out medicines and supplements prescribed by the doctors. The pharmacy is
pretty hectic, as those in the pharmacy have to find and portion meds just as prescribed.
This requires a high attention to detail, which I thought I was perfect for. It
was also extremely fast paced as we had multiple papers with medicines come in
all at once. For me the most memorable moment wasn’t with giving a certain
family meds or interactions with patients, although those are all equally as
important. To me, the most important moment was finding more prenatal meds.
This was since at the beginning, we only had 3 or 4 bags of prenatals, which
are meds that help pregnant women get the nutrition they need while also helping
with the development of a soon-to-be-born child. When we had just one bottle
left, Arielle found a whole box of prenatals with about 40 more bottles. When
this happened, I felt an immeasurable amount of relief and excitement. I was
thrilled to know that we had more than enough supplements to help women in need
and their future children would live a healthier life. This was so significant
to me because my main goal in life is to help as many people as I can, and if
that starts with a medium sized box of vitamins, that’s enough for me to be
satisfied with the work ethic that the pharmacy team as a whole put out
throughout the day.
Close quarters in this school-turned-med-clinic!

Today I went to the construction site at Batey Papita. We finished laying the foundation for a floor in a house for the workers. When we first arrived, a little girl named Melissa ran up to me and held my hand while we went to put our shovels and wheelbarrows down. After working hard for about two hours, I took a break to play with Melissa. I gave her gum while my new friend, Caitlin painted her nails. We worked hard for the rest of the day, and finally finished the floor for the house. Tomorrow we are going to pour concrete! The day ended with our group going to the Torros game. Vamos los Torros!
