Pill Counting

After getting to know a little bit about everyone, it's time to start separating all the meds that we brought into Colombia. Antacids, heart meds, vitamins, they just scratch the surface. Six, 8ft. tables were lined up and then all the meds were put in order. After that is finished, the fun really starts. We now take the pills and count out what the average dosage would be and put them in seperate baggies. This is so the pharmacy doesn't have to do it at the time of discharge. It just makes the process go a little smoother. I know this from personal experience since the pharmacy was my main station. Once the pills are divided up all the baggies need labels. Now a stamp was made for the labels, but after a few smearings of said labels, the labels had to be handwritten. This was a group effort, and everyone got to know each other a little more.
