Do you want to read a CBC Story that was shared?
“I must immediately perform a complete blood count.” A resident of Portmeirion, a town in Penrhyndeudraeth with a population of just over 1,800, turned to the pharmacist with confidence after saying these words, and the pharmacist’s FBC intervention saved his life.
Olly Robinson, the proprietor of Roelonds Pharmacy, is the main character in this happy-ending tale. She describes what happened on a calm Thursday at the end of September.
Let’s get started, Doctor Robon. What transpired on September 24th?
Everyone in the village is somewhat acquainted with one another. A person who had previously received treatment from a specialist for liver issues called me and said, “My doctor told me to get an FBC sample urgently.” Since it was closing day, I opened the pharmacy without hesitation and asked the patient to complete the requested analysis right away. This is a test that we typically offer to our clients. The test’s results were quite concerning: hematocrit at 15 (the usual amount is near 40) and hemoglobin at 5. In actuality, the patient had virtually no blood mass available.
Then, what did you do?
We gave the patient’s treating specialist a call. The patient might not survive, therefore the situation was extremely serious. He was quite pale and completely helpless; he had trouble speaking and could hardly walk. Even though his heart was beating, not much blood was flowing through his body and oxygen was getting to his tissues and organs. The specialist and the rescuers decided to go to the Lansei hospital’s emergency room, which is roughly forty minutes away. Every fifteen minutes, the specialist called the patient to give him an update on his status. The doctors hurriedly admitted him to the hospital after reading the complete CBC blood count report that had been completed at the pharmacy, and he received a transfusion right away.
Have we discovered the cause of this loss of circulation?
The hospital doctors performed a number of examinations after stabilizing him and were able to determine that there was still gastrointestinal bleeding.
Are there any updates regarding the current condition of the CBC patient?
He’s stabilized, I know that. He did, however, require multiple transfusions. I’ve been informed that he was given five suitcases.
To put it briefly, the story’s ending would have been different if you hadn’t opened the drugstore on the day off and, more importantly, been able to finish the Complete count. Do you consider yourself somewhat of a hero?
Let’s discuss pharmacies in remote areas.
They serve as a genuine point of reference for the health of residents who live far from densely populated areas where they can access other medical facilities, just like the one where I work. Additionally, the pharmacy benefits from the promptness and accuracy of a significant analysis. In regards to being a hero—well, there are heroes. Undoubtedly, civic solidarity and social cohesion—of which the pharmacy is a key component—allow us to address both minor and major issues. After all, reports of medical crises occurring in isolated locations are not uncommon.
What does it mean?
An electrocardiogram (ECG) I performed on a patient not too long ago revealed a heart rate of 30 beats per minute. We were able to swiftly transport her to the hospital. An atrioventricular block occurred in her. To prevent cardiac arrest, a pacemaker was installed in her. I can also bring up another instance when an older patient’s ongoing heart attack was discovered by an ECG performed throughout the night. Another happy-ending provincial CBC story.
