Getting better

So what have I been up to lately? Been learning tons and tons of things from my preceptor. I have already begun counseling on patients since yesterday. Today, I have added acetaminophen with codeine and some antibiotics into my repertoire. Slowly, I will be doing most of the counselings.

I have learnt lots from the pharmacy technicians there. My pill counting is still slow, but that is not a great concern. I am almost completing the whole process - accepting Rx, counting the pills, packing them and finally, dispensing them to the patient and giving proper counseling.

One good thing about this place is people are very patient. And as long as you show the willingness to learn, they are very happy to teach and share their knowledge. They are also very understanding even when I trip up during the counseling sessions. And I really like that. They don't demand attention like the Singaporeans do.

No pictures lately because I have been very busy working. And there really isn't much to take anyways. Will be traveling to Jasper-Banff this weekend (Woohoo!) and there will definitely be more lovely pictures. It's the Rockies, man. :)

Edmonton Oilers has won the game last night. They are going to meet the Anaheim Ducks tomorrow or sometime this weekend I think. People just went crazy after the win. apparently there were like, 20 000 people crowded onto Whyte Ave. It was crazy. And we missed all those. :(

Anyways. One interesting thing I noticed is that the weather is so dry here, there's hardly any condensation. By that, I meant a cold water bottle will not have water droplets on its outside as we get back home. And it's no problem stuffing icecold water bottle into my bag as there's no water of condensation to wet my bag! Heh.

OK. I have already done more of my work. Will go to sleep now and resume work tomorrow. Btw, I work from 12noon till 8pm on Thursdays. Other days, I work from 9 to 5.
