bad bad bad....

Oh my. My Pharmacy Practice exemption test yesterday was a piece of shit. I m just goin to fail definitely. Nevermind of whether to get 70marks n get exempted for my degree exam. We had FIVE prescriptions to dispense in 3 hours time. I did my 1st n 2nd prescription smoothly, i managed to spot all of the itchy bitchy tricky unlegal stuff n corrected with the prescriber ever-so-confidently n counseled my patient like a oh-so-professional-pharmacist.

Here comes the 3rd devil prescription. It was a salbutamol solution for a 1 year old asmatic infant. Come on! 1 year old also have to take medicine meh? siao! plus the condition for an infant to take drug safely memang cause a hell for us pharmacist. I flipped through the Children British National formulatory for that particular drug which consist of about 10pages errr ok, i exagerated a bit, maybe 6 pages FULL of this cannot, that cannot this one ok but have to blah blah blah. Go to hell can i just dont do this patient's business then. well, cannot, this is a test. So in the end when i finally made my decision of still dispensing the unlicensed drug to my lil patient with a whole list full of my counselling points to the baby's mother and teach her how to use oral syringe to her baby. my 1 hour gone.

So i quickly finish up my last 2 prescriptions, never mind to act like a professional pharmacist or rushing-about-mad pharmacist. When i had finished all the record stuff and label stuff and prepare to dispense my last prescription to my last patient, the bald exam coordinator said ok..it's the end of the examination thankyou. And Fuck! my last prescription was collected with a big mark NOT_DISPENSED on it and it means that i straight away got deducted for 60marks and the passing mark for that whole paper is 50marks. so i die not? yes.

Kate dispensed an unlegal prescription in which she made a silly mistakes in her presciption by not correcting the total quantity in both words and figure for a controlled drug. So, 60 marks gone as well. Everyone was telling us to nevermind since the exemption test was made hard so as not everyone got exempted. Overall i am alright with it.

ok..tmr another video exam. it's just a 6marks test but i m going to have pages of diseases and it's symptoms and recommented drugs for this and that type of patient to memorise. Goodluck to me!

Hi Ming! yes, the Pharmacy Practice 3 is very stressful. As in, it is not like other subjects, as long as u study a lot then u sure can pass. This PP3 has to depend on ur luck, see what prescription u get, u know, there r lots of laws for NHS, controlled drug's, Vet, nurse and private GP n u hav got to make all the prescriptions legal and diff type of form has diff type of legality, u hav to make the right decision of whether to change drugs or not to dispense at times, and sometime u may think it's the best decision but if the lecture dun agree with u then u straight away fail. then counsel the patient right n sometimes, a slight mistake u will straight away fail. It depends on ur ling2 cang3 biao3 xian4 also. u have to be very clear and confident. heheh...sorry for making u so scary, u know any senior from ur univ? ask them abt the info coz their info really helps..i called u last few days but u din pick up my call, will call ya again when i m free la k. goodluck babeh in ur coming exam!

Holy cow...there appears to be one constant with most Malaysian pharmacy students - they can't spell to save their own lives.

"asmatic"??? What's that? Sounds like a new fangled gizmo from an electronic shop.

Is the entry standard to what really is a time-trusted, highly-educated health professional course that low over there? I mean, aren't you students taught in English?? Who ever said all them "traditional, elite" U.K unis put education before the almight moolah is apparently deluded, especially since they "twin" with programmes accepting such calibre of students.

Possessing such abysmal grammatical competencies here in Oz won't even allow one to get into the many enrolled nursing courses which cater to middle-school dropouts.
