The clinic has been rather slow lately, so I have been finding ways to entertain myself. One project assigned to me was to determine what medications should be put in safety cap vials. My first thought was "easy...all of them." But it's actually more complicated than that. Here everything takes FOREVER to get implemented. So rather than overwhelming the system, they take baby steps.
2nd project: Drug information for all the formulary drugs. This is more of a project than I realized at first, but I'm plugging along on it. It's basically taking the formulary that a previous student compiled that listed all the medications we carry in our pharmacy (which isn't all that much) and adding to it the indications/contraindications/pregnancy category/dosing information/any other relevant information. The doctors here don't really have good references for drug information, and their old medication guide is from 2004. Time for some updates right?
Tonight I'm going to see the world's largest card house at the Venetian. The guy broke the record just this week in completing his replica of the Venetian with cards. I'll try not to sneeze.
Things God's been teaching me:
1- You can be happy wherever God places you as long as you have a good attitude about it
2- Ministry can't be done unless you first spend time alone with God every day...it's ESSENTIAL...then you need community, then ministry happens
3- It's easy to put selfish expectations on others....to expect them to treat you in the way you "expect" to be treated- when in fact, they might not see things the way you do. Or maybe it's not their culture or the way they do things. When we feel like others are not treating us the way we "should" be treated, we should first evaluate where our expectations come from.
