KEVIN flies the flag high.
When an ailing PD news
reporter visited the Epping
Chemist Warehouse last week
to buy cough and cold products,
he was surprised and delighted
with the highly professional
communication skills and
knowledge of the young intern
pharmacist who gave him his
meds.
Dispensing a cough and cold
capsule containing paracetamol,
Kevin noticed that the reporter
was already holding in his hand
a pack of Lemsip, also containing
paracetamol, and proceeded to
counsel around not having both
at once.
The reporter clarified that he
had the weaker strength Lemsip
because he knew about the
limit of paracetamol to avoid
liver damage, but how good
is our pharmacist training -
congratulations to the course
trainers, and in particular how
good was Kevin on the day?!
Talking to his doctor later in the
day, the reporter couldn’t stop
himself from telling the story.
Incidentally, as a person of taste,
Kevin reads Pharmacy Daily.
INTERNATIONAL pharmacy.
On the good pharmacy vibe, PD
also experienced the kindness of
a pharmacist when travelling in
Bordeaux; the only way to dry the
reporter’s already-washed clothes
involved using coins - and a long
suffering nearby pharmacien
kindly provided some change.
