> what does a community pharmacist actually do?
Shelli - I am the guy who fills prescriptions. I guess they are called retail pharmacists in the U.S. I also did some consulting at a mental health clinic. Basically, my job is teaching ; I try to educate people on their medication, so that they can become informed consumers. I doubt that I could lecture to students day-in and day-out (I do give lectures to pharmacy students once a year).
I doubt that the kind of job that I would like even exists. I would like someone to pay me a decent wage to learn stuff (just stuff, in general). Perhaps an Aristotle to Fredrick the Great, sort of position (Plato to Alexander the Great?).
In the meantime, I will get a job as a retail pharmacist, count pills by fives, and stick labels on bottles; and dream about what coulda been.
Thanks Shelli. - Cam
