I think I did better this time – my dispensing assignment.
*does a little victory dance*
But as with all things, it can only get better!
Below is part of my conversation with a patient today:
“Hello, Mr Smith*! Here is your medicine. Are you expecting three items today from your doctor?”
“Oh yes, yes. He told me I have high blood pressure…something like 165/105…is that good?”
“Well, it would definitely be better if it was lower.”
“Really? I thought if I had a higher number it’d be better…like a score? The higher the better?”
“Oh no, unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.”
Trust me, it was REALLY difficult to keep a straight face because the patient was so animated when he told me his theory.
Thankfully, it was just Rory being a very “interesting” patient for me to practice on while doing assignment 4 today.
*So there was no Mr Smith.
