Today at the clinic I helped out in the pharmacy all day.  We saw a few interesting cases.  One girl presented to the clinic with a fever of 104 and was throwing up and experiencing pain.  After doing a urine analysis, the physician diagnosed her with pyelonephritis.  We treated this with Cipro and are following up with the patient tomorrow. 

It was fun to quiz and share our knowledge with the medical students.  I definitely think we gave them a more positive outlook on a pharmacists career.  It was also entertaining to watch them use a counting tray.  Someone used it up side down and was counting one at a time, rather than five.  I hope I didn’t look that funny the first time I counted in a pharmacy!!

Tonight after dinner, we drank a beer with Dr. Rovers.  I can finally cross “drink with a professor” off my bucket list!!  It’s raining again so hopefully the sound of the rain on the tin roof will put me to sleep!!
