Personal Narrative: Dutch Mill Pharmacy

402 Words2 Pages

As a child, I copied my dad as he counted pills to fill prescriptions. Standing next to him on a stool, I counted my Skittles by fives. Once I reached thirty, I grabbed a pill vial, slid the Skittles in, and twisted the lid on. I wouldn’t have any printed labels to put on my pill bottle, so I designed my own using paper and pens. Once I was finished, I asked dad for help putting my label on my bottle. We found the tape and stuck it on the bottle together. This memory, as well as many others, made me love growing up and spending so much time in my family’s small-town pharmacy in Iowa. My Grandpa Dwayne founded the Dutch Mill Pharmacy in 1969. Dutch Mill Pharmacy is located downtown Orange City, next to a grocery store and furniture store.

Their expertise and interventions during the medication-use process help minimize the risk of adverse reactions, improve health outcomes associated with drug therapy, and significantly lower hospital costs. Adverse drug events experienced by hospital patients have been shown to increase morbidity and mortality, prolong the length of hospital stay, and increase hospital costs1.
