Some of my experiences at the clinic that remind me why I chose a health care profession.
1. Helping an older women understand how to use her diabetes meter after two other individuals tried but could not help
2. Realize and administer a pneumonia vaccine to a patient at high risk for getting the infection
3. Train a patient in self administration of insulin while helping the patient get over the fear of injections and stigma of diabetes
4. Finding cheaper alternative medications for elderly patients on a tight budget
5. Realizing that a patient's blood thinning medication dose was too low and requesting the physician change it accordingly
6. Find the only pharmacy in town that had the diabetic supplies that make a patient feel comfortable with themselves
