Never forgotten

Our recently monthly seminar at school focused on peer support services for pharmacists, pharmacy students and other professionals. Many of my classmates and I heard the story of current pharmacist on probation during the first week of our schools orientation.

But somehow hearing it today there were parts that made it more home felt. I wasn't sad that she had her license suspended or her judgment deferred, I had empathy.

There was a brief moment towards the end of the seminar when a peer advisor was speaking about the incidence of prescription drug abuse. Then sitting amongst my classmates I had a flashback and I fought hard to not blink my eye. The tears eventually slowly trickled onto my cheek. It became real.


I quickly went to wipe my lower lash lie with a seemingly cool natural swipe. It was all too real that I immediately took my phone and texted Jhonny to tell him what I just relived and remembered.

I put away this brief experience to continue about my day with classes and preparing for our exam today. This was yesterday.

Tonight I went to check the online newspaper from back home to read more about other national news and I found this on the main-page.
