I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to spend a month in Thailand. All of its hospitality, culture, and compassion was extremely humbling. This experience surpassed my expectations and gave me better insight on how countries, though so different, also share the same common goals. Thailand deals with many disease states that for us are considered rare. Although they face numerous barriers, the health care professionals do a great job allocating their resources for the good of their people. The pharmacists we met were well trained and very knowledgeable in their specialized fields. Even though the hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies lacked the fancy new machines and shiny floors, the care being provided to the patients was top notch. Everyone was eager to learn and gain new ideas from us on how to further improve their care. Little did they know, we were the ones gaining the most.
I am really going to miss Thailand. It was great spending this time around genuinely good people who allowed me to learn more about myself. Until we meet again, thank you Thailand!!
