KIAM PAK post
ja (an ordinary gal) says:
" Today, i boiled water using the microwave to cook my cup noodle and make a cup of ovaltine. added too much powder- stirred for a long time but there was still some excess powder in it."
ja (a pharmacy student) will say:
"today, which is 12th of April, i put 500ml water into an airtight plastic container. i put the container into the microwave and switched it on so that the water undergo percolation. Then, i poured 300ml of purified water freshly boiled into my cup noodle and another 200ml into my cup with 50.000g (within 1% error) ovaltine powder. Was trying to make an ovaltine solution with aid of heat but apparently, the solubility of ovaltine powder is low in water. Although i agitated the solution rapidly, there was no sufficient purified water freshly boiled in the cup and therefore, the powder precipitated out and my ovaltine solution was not stable."
Kiam pak incident 2:
A few days ago, v learnt about the most interesting lecture of all- THE PRICING OF PRESCRIPTION
ok..
one day, u got sick n went to c the doc..doc prescribed some antibiotics to u..let say 70 pils..n u go to the pharmacy to get them..
In the pharmacy..originally - 100 antibiotic pils cost 100 bucks..
so, u wan 70 pils..i shud price u $70 rite?
But to make in specially for u:
firstly- i hav to open the 100 pils and take out 70 juz for u..hello~~~ who will take the 30 left??
so..even though i might sell it to the next customer or take it home..i shall charge u 'wastage factor' - FOR WASTING MY STUFF!!
n according to PBS table - even though u took 70 n left 30 - wastage factor is supposed to b 30%, but i open door buat business- needa earn la ok?? so- according the table - i can put the wastage factor as 44%..XD
Secondly, ei..i'm a pro pharmacist u know?? i cannot giv u ur pils in a plastic bag la..muz put in some canggih punya bottle - so..container charge - $1
n most importantly, told u i'm a pro pharmacist - so i get to charge PROFESIONAL FEE..FOR BEING PRO..so..another $6.95 plz..
n ..hey..u think i keep ur pills in my pharmacy no need water ar, electricity ar, gas ar..to maintain izit?? all those no need money izit?? harhar?? so..another mark up charge - 75% = $75..
ultimately:
Ur medicine price is =
Wholesale price of pils = $100
mark-up = 75% x 100 = $75
Wastage factor = 44%
professional fee = $6.95
COntainer fee = $1
($100+$75) x 44% + $6.95 + $1 = $84.95 = $85
original price of medicine (70 pils) = $70
actual price = $85
Earn $15 d..XD
oohh...so..u can't swallow har?? got ulser izit??
nvm..i PRO wan..so..i can make it into a solution u know??
+ constitutional fee = $1
Another $1 earned..XD
The patient version
"WHAT DID U SAY?? HOW COME SO EXPENSIVE?? U THINK I DUNNO ANYTHING IZIT??"
"haiz..looks like I needa wait til next month oni can buy my boots d...haih.."
"What do i tell my wife....haih..."
" HELLO!! DUN THINK U CAN BULLY ME U KNOW?? TIOK ME AR?? I GO COMPLAIN U BARU TAU!!"
Wat?? WAT DID U SAY?? I TIOK U?? !!
HOW CAN U SAY TAT?? GO ASK UR ACCOUNTANT?? OR LAWYER??
DO U SPEAK TO THEM FOR FREE??
The pharmacists version:
IN CONCLUSION:
Pharmacists in perth now r NOT POOR..n GETTING RICHER SOON.
I LOVE PHARMACY~~LALALALA~~~
