Going the extra mile for all our patients

Last week, we assisted a patient with second and third degree burns. The gentleman had an accident at work when the oxygen cylinder he was using exploded. He apparently used the equipment incorrectly. He went to the local clinic for assistance but was sent home with a packet of paracetamol and weak antibiotics. His wounds were dressed incorrectly causing the bandages to stick to his skin. Hence, when he arrived at the pharmacy, it took our staff quite some time to remove the bandages without causing any further damage to the skin. It was quite evident that the oral antibiotics were not working optimally as the wounds were infected with puss. We spent over an hour cleaning out the wound and then called the paramedics to transport him to a hospital where he can be administered with antibiotics via a drip. It makes our blood boil when we see the incompetence at our government hospital facilities. Oh well, as long as Medix pharmacy remains in existence we will try our best to provide the best medical care to all our patients.
