La farmacia

In addition to the 4 groups of students in the clinic, there was a fifth group running the pharmacy. (Groups rotated every day, so everyone spent some time in the pharmacy). Mostly cough syrups, amoxicilin and pain meds. Working in the pharmacy was an adventure. Lots of broken Spanish trying to explain how to take different medicines. Luckily we had a serious supply of labels. One had a sun and a moon on it to mark when to take the medicine. Others said "take - pills - times a day for - days" in Spanish. So hopefully nothing too important got lost in translation.
