My essential question: Why do people abuse prescription drugs, and how are pharmacies handling this issue?
Prescription drug problems are not uncommon, and learning about their existence and the reasons behind their use is interesting among teenager, adults, and quite frankly anybody. I have learned a lot from Mr. Dan, the pharmacist at Longstreet Clinic, about the medicines that people easily get addicted to. What I have not yet learned is why. Why do people enjoy overusing drugs? Why put forth the effort and struggle to receive medicine that the body does not need? Because of my deep intellectual thought and curiosity, I wish to evaluate on the issue of drug abuse. Because of my connection with the pharmacy where I pursue my mentorship, I also wish to perform research in order to assess how pharmacies (including the pharmacy where I intern) handles the issue of drug abuse. I know some information about their procedures, but I am sure that there is much more to learn. Learning about medicine, its effects, and learning about why/how people abuse medicines excites me as much as it intrigues me. I believe that determining factors and causes as to why additions to pharmaceutical medicine/prescription drugs will accurately meet my needs and desire to learn more about this particular topic.
