conselling patients are not as easy as you think it is..

We just had a tutorial, where we get chances to practice and improve our counselling skills with our fellow classmates... sort of a role play kinda thingy la..and yea at times, we deliberately make life harder for those who are playing the role of the pharmacist.. here are some pretty interesting portions of our counselling session..

PW = pei wey
SA = Sarah
SJ = Shaleen (ME!! ME!!!)
S = Sokthy
X = another guy, couldn't catch his name..

Scenario 1

Baby Beth Baloney has a nappy rash, and you've prepared a product prescribed by the doctor to treat it.

SJ : OK la i'll be the pharmacist.
SA : Then i'll be the mum la.
PW : And i'll be the baby!!! *waves arms like a spoilt brat. i mean kid * lol

SA : Yea she does.
SJ : Can i take a look at it?? *wriggles eyebrow at PW*
PW : ??



PW : Hello, i'm PW, your pharmacist for today. Are you Beth's mother?
SJ : Duhh, do i look like a father to you??
PW : *killer stare* you could be the aunty or sister or something right???





and then Sarah tries to be smart..

SJ : Hi, are you Beth's mum??
SA : NO???? i'm her stepmother k??? And i couldn't be bothered bout whether she's got nappy rash or whatever!!
SJ : Then you're one useless step mum, you should go jump off a cliff or go bury yourself in the garden.


SA : hi, i'm Sarah, your pharmacist. and oh everybody loves sarah k?? so anyway....
PW & SJ : *rolls eyes* lol




Scenario 2

The patient, miss Singer, comes into the pharmacy complaining of suffering from a ringworm. And we learnt that ringworms can happen in so many places on the body, the scalp, the feet, the trunk of the body, nails, beard, face, groin etc etc etc

PW : So, Miss Singer, may i know where your ringworm is??
SJ : Oh its on the skin under my beard.
PW : ??? *rolls eyes*


SJ : Would it be alright if i spend some time to share some tips with you on how to prevent this condition from reoccurring??
SA : Alright, but be quick, i only have two minutes. My BF is waiting for me.
SJ : Well alright, your BF will just have to live with smelling your smelly feet then!!!
(ringworms on the feet make ur feet smell awful)



S : i need help, my feet are really itchy and red
X : Sure, can i have a look at it please? *bends to get closer look at foot*
S : yea sure * rips of shoes and socks dramatically*
X : *falls back as though he has been struck by someone in the face* Man!! IT STINKS!!!!!!! @^~^@)@><@)~!#!!!!
S : Well you asked for it..... *chuckles* LOL

and we're gonna be pharmacists one day. GOD SAVE THE PEOPLE!!!!
