The person on the opposite side of the table comes across numerous patients throughout the day. While you see yourself asking for the medications, a pharmacist sees a pool of customers eagerly waiting to get their turn. While the whole world was asked to stay inside during the pandemic, the health workers were given the responsibility of taking care of patients that got infected.

Ravi Morisetty The 12 Behind-The-Scenes Secrets Of Pharmacists. The person on the opposite side of the table comes across numerous patients throughout the day. While you see yourself asking for the medications, a pharmacist sees a pool of customers eagerly waiting to get their turn. While the whole world was asked to stay inside during the pandemic, the health workers were given the responsibility of taking care of patients that got infected. According to Ravi Morisetty, the role of every single druggist would become more vital than any other person once the vaccine gets into the commercialization stage. With rough 4.3 billion prescriptions that physicians write every year, one can only imagine how efficiently they are delivered, especially with the sloppy handwriting that comes with it. A close look at what one faces behind the counter would clear out the picture. The Secrets You Don’t Even Know: Life Savor: Do you think only doctors do the task of saving your lives? Well, there’s much more if you flip the coin to look at the other side. Nearly every druggist, every day clears out the errors in odd prescriptions. Be it the quantity, instructions, eliminations and dosing that needs to be rectified by phoning the doctor. The Time Pressure: Only a druggist reads, collects, counts and double-checks the medications before delivering it to you. The story doesn’t just end here! With book-keeping coming as an addition, every pharmacist has to keep a record of quantities coming in and exiting the store. In such a little time, they have to satisfy every patient standing in the queue. Code-Cracker: Deciphering a doctor’s handwriting is nothing less than a miracle. What we can’t even read, a pharmacist interprets and acts on it. This ability
makes him no less than a code-cracker. As much as hard it is for an average person to read the writing of any physician, it is equally difficult for a pharmacist too. A day without a meal: With prescriptions flooding in and every single individual asking when their medicines would be out, lunch breaks often get ignored! Eating portable meals or snacks while standing is all one gets when there is a pressure mounting. Dealing with dirty prescriptions: As Ravi Morisetty states, you don’t even know what happens at the back end of a pharmacist when you hand him a prescription. People give papers as it has come from disposal can and then expect their medications to come out of the wardrobe instantly. Dealing with a flood: With the electronic medium coming into play, pharmacies all over the world handle numerous prescriptions coming daily. Added to it is the long queue that demands their remedy to come out the first thing. Just imagine a bunch of individuals coming in and asking together ‘Have you read it yet?’ A Comforter: With every medication carrying a side-effect list, only a druggist could tell you what is the reality behind it! Advising people how to minimize these effects, these help patients to calm their nerves. Handling rude behavior: Often do you come across an event where the individual standing by your side starts criticizing the chemist for no specific reason. Handling them is a challenging task which they manage to do every odd day. A Note to self: You don’t even know, but your druggist keeps notes about your health with himself. He does that to ensure you get a better tomorrow than today! Hospital Visits: Ravi Morisetty depicts knowing the patients, and their
background could come in handy in a crucial time. You’d often see pharmacists interacting with the patient’s family. Non-prescriptive advice: Not every advice they give you comes from a physician. But it works, right. An expert in the field has come across several patients of your type and give out advice after analyzing your schedule. Duty of Shaping Lives: You can find a doctor with sober handwriting, but you can’t find any pharmacist without ethics. They do their task of shaping lives every day! Bottomline - Ravi Morisetty has been working hard to make people understand how your pharmacist is as essential in your life as your close relative. Sometimes they know more about you than your physician. Start appreciating what the person standing in front of you does for you! Source: https://vocal.media/authors/ravi-morisetty
