Memilih Apotek/Apoteker/Farmasis yang Baik versi Inggris

from http://www.jimplagakis.com/?p=3242

Test this for OTC's, see if the pharmacist can pass it

1. Ask the pharmacy where a certain OTC drug is, ask parasetamol, inza, bisolvon, OBG Combi, antangin, etc, if he/she knows and show you the way, he/she passes, but if the technician shows you, just get outta there.
2. if the pharmacist asks you why you need this drug, he/she passes, but if he/she just give it to you without asking anything, he/she fails as a pharmacist
3. The pharmacist listens to your problems and try to find the ways to get yoi otta the problem, if he/she just hear you, doesn't seem caring and just give the usual advice and answers, just open the door out
4. If the pharmacists suggests other drugs that are the same (the contents are same) or better drugs to deal with your problem, this is the pharmacy that you should be going to, if not, leave fast

For prescriptions
1. Search a pharmacy with pharmacists that counsels the patient, not just giving drugs or counseling by technicians
2. Pharmacist counsels with patience, care and not just the usual directions you can read yourself in the label. he/she counsels what you need to know, not the high language he/she has
3. The pharmacist see you in the eye and asks you to repeat his instructions (better if he/she makes notes for you)
4. Pharmacist doesn't treat you like the most idiot persin in the world, he/she respects you and talk wuth respect

tak sama persis, tapi poin2nya sama kan?
