In my profession which is pharmacy, I held the relationships I made with my patients, front and center. When I worked this is what I did. I held my patients in high esteem, seeking to provide what was needed. Not only medically, but mentally, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. I pray society understands the values found in relationships.
I understand the pressures that retail pharmacists are currently under -- the push for volume has all but eclipsed this connection with the pharmacist. In fact, I suspect that things will come full circle and this thing that is so rare, connection, will become the scarce and valuable thing. I hope. Thanks for chiming in, Elizabeth.
