When a prescription for medicines is filled in the pharmacy, the dispensing is checked by means of a so-called medicine check. This means that a staff member picks out the requested medicines and goes with the prescription and the preparations to another specialist - often the pharmacist - and has them check whether the correct medicines have been chosen. This is important so that no wrong or incorrectly dosed medicines are left with the patient. Sounds plausible and good. But... it strikes me that it is not really the medicines that are checked, but only the packaging. So if a mistake should have crept in during the production process and wrong or differently dosed preparations have been packed, this would not be discovered during the Medi-Check! Just checking the packaging is not really enough, or certainly does not correspond to what it is spent on. So be careful today in what you do and help others to do the same.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
