The clinic
One of my retirement goals is to do volunteer work at a clinic while we are living on Roatan. During previous trips I had been to a clinic and knew this was possible.
Now that my tummy troubles are all over I was good to go, so bright and early Monday morning....well more like 9AM...... I got on the bus and went to the clinic.
Up a short walk and you can see the clinic through the trees, on the right. It is in a beautiful location with both an inside and outside waiting room.
There is also a playground and a food vendor.
It is a full service clinic, I was told 80 babies were delivered there last year.
My interview was two minutes...or less. There was no
paperwork.
Very friendly people and I started right away.
My job was to count pills.... apparently everything comes in large containers and is decanted into small plastic envelopes of 30 pills each. Then they are ready for dispensing as needed. Reminded me of preparing meds 40 years ago.
The pharmacy is quite small.
And I got to leave through the staff door!
Will be going Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and the next time will have a proper volunteer tee shirt and a name tag.
Quite looking forward to it.

Looks like a great Volunteer position. Will they move you around to different areas each week or will you just be a pill counter?
ReplyDeleteNot sure. Apparently they are short of pill counters so I am sure I will be doing it for a while.
