San Jose Clinic Pharmacy #8

Due to last week chaotic schedule, I did not showed up to volunteer, however I did volunteered this week. When I first arrived in the pharmacy, I found many of the incoming inventory all over the floor (later found out that the staff in charged of pharmacy was sick). So Tony and I worked together to check in all inventory and make sure every patients are receiving their medications on time. Due to the cold/flu season, I noticed a high amount of antiviral and coughing medication coming in. As usual, there were high amount of maintenance drugs (blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetic drugs). These maintenance drugs must be taken as directed and on schedule, because they affect the body greatly. Therefore, at San Jose clinic, we tried our best to make sure all our patients do not missed or skipped any regimen. In retail pharmacy, we offer to give our patients "loaners" if they ever run out of pills and cannot get refill from their old prescription. As my time at San Jose starts to close down, I need to start gathering information for the Service Learning Project presentation.
