Week 4 Wrap Up

5.31.13
Ghanaians are a very interesting breed.  People are not afraid to cross the streets when cars are flying down the road, but when it rains, the city shuts down.  Yesterday morning it rained for about 30 minutes and people were running left and right looking for a dry place to stay.

Today a man came in with a prescription for a spironolactone and an aldactone suspension for a little boy with a heart defect.  Because many pharmacies are run on the sole interest of making money, most of them do not compound since there is no pharmacist present so they tell patients that they don’t have the drugs available.  The man was happy to have found our pharmacy because we were able to compound the suspension for his son.
