Training days

It's the 4th day of our community pharmacy training, i found it quite interesting and fun. We can see lots of different customers coming, and we met a very funny one today. The patient brought along all his medicines prescribed from doctors and came into the pharmacy asking about his medications. Surprisingly, he was actually categorizing his medicines according to SHAPES & COLOURS of the medicines, and he doesn't look at the name at all, without realising that the medicines were actually the same but different brands. he told us how he ate his medicines (sleeping pills & relaxants). he said: i mix this yellow with red/ white with blue..bla bla bla... and when he saw there were 2 medicines in white and round shape, he said he took only one type because he assume it was the same. *sweat*such a dangerous polypharmacy case but very funny listening him telling his "Theory of taking his pills". Of course, the pharmacist then educate him about it to clear his doubt.More shockingly, he wanted to order 1000 sleeping pills!!!!! crazy man! of course that is against the law, so he only get to order for maximum 100. His logic behind the 1000 pills was because he swallowed a lot of sleeping pills every night to sleep, and he said " 100 only so little, after 2/3 days also finish then HOW?" *faint* i can see the need of patient counseling is so much important! 

Anyway, tomorrow is finally a holiday so we can off for a day :)

My appetite is coming back gradually after i got sick, at least now i can feel the hunger already~

Hopefully my sleeping pattern can turn back to normal too, feel so terrible on insomnia nights.....which forced me to stare on the ceiling and made those unwanted thoughts popped out in my mind, further worsen the insomnia....@_@
