Cookin' Up Some Drugs

Last rotation is Healthway Pharmacy, a specialty compounding pharmacy in Saginaw. So far it's been great!! We get to work in labs and make patient-specific products not available from commercial manufacturers. So far I've made:

• Lollipops
• Capsules (fav!)
• Ointments
• Creams
• Solutions
• Suspensions
• Lozenges

... with plenty more to come I'm sure. It takes me about three times as long to make something as it does the other more experienced lab techs, but they are so patient with me! :) We also make veterinary and sterile products which have been interesting to see. On Thursdays I call every single patient to make sure their product is working well and they don't have any questions/concerns! That's what I call customer service. ;)

I was able to attend my first Baptism today (aside from my own which I naturally don't remember)! Our friends Ben and Allison were having their lovely daughter Myra baptized. It was pretty interesting, but more of a church service and less of a baptism than I was expecting. Lots of singing which I performed horribly out of tune and "Peace be with yous" while all I could think about is whether or not these people wash their hands after using the bathroom. >_<

We went shopping this weekend to get Mike some pants, but didn't end up finding the kind he really liked. I, of course, had no such trouble. I ended up getting two blouses, two pairs of pants, and three cocktail dresses. OMG I have a problem.
