An amateur "drug dealer"

I suppose it is a promotion, going from working the registration queue last year to helping in the pharmacy. Although she is not a pharmacist, Ellie filled in quite competently. Having four sons, she knows a lot about medications and her organizational skills and meticulous nature made it easy for me to fill the scripts the medical staff wrote up. Three of us worked the station as Ellie and I filled the orders and Steve was the end of the entire of process of a patient’s visit to the clinic. He handed out the medications and the instructions.

I miss the interface with the visitors, especially the kids. When Steve goes on break, I pick up handing out the scripts and enjoy the few opportunities to interact with the patients. I also miss the flexibility of being able to float around and take tons of pictures, which will be far fewer and less comprehensive this time.

Nonetheless, the trip has been as fulfilling as last year’s, despite of the achy feet from being on them for most of the day.
