Today I was back at La Carit, the all women's hospital, but we are now officially operating from the newly renovated pharmacy! It's beautiful and looks even better now that it has everything from the old pharmacy moved it. In the old pharmacy, most of the shelving, boxes, and tables were made of painted/treated wood. In this pharmacy, everything is of metal which they explained to me is in accordance with new regulations stated by La Caja. Here are some photos of the new space!
I started the morning working on the outpatient side, helping fill and dispense to the patients who come from the clinic. Today I was able to fill by myself! After lunch I went to the inpatient side and attempted to relearn where everything is to help fill and dispense on that side. While there, I also learned with the assistance of Mari, shown in the picture below, how to type up the scripts that come down from the floors. They type them into a program that is used in all public hospitals (hospitals of La Caja) so it was the same program that I saw being used at the pain clinic yesterday. They input the information and a sticker prints out. We then fill the script and the pharmacist checks that the medication matches the sticker which matches the hard copy of the prescription.
In the afternoon I met with the director to talk about what I learned yesterday at the pain/palliative care clinic, and she told me a bit about what I would learn, see, and do tomorrow when I go to the medication production laboratory in the Hospital México.
