Saturdays in the Pharmacy

The weekend is over and I'm getting ready to start my second week of rotation.  I went into the pharmacy yesterday from 9am-3:30pm and the time went by quickly.  A lady came in with pitting edema (swelling) in her legs.  The pharmacist helped me counsel her on hypertension and how it is important to go to the doctor and get checked, as well as the importance of eating well and exercising.  This interaction really helped me solidify my twi skills (language they speak in Ghana) and build my confidence in interacting with patients.
