I’d like to talk about my wife, who is a pharmacist and someone I really admire for the way she helps other people. We live together in Jakarta so I’ve been able to see quite closely how she uses her knowledge to help others. Over in the years, she has helped quite a lot of people by giving them practical advice about medicines and practical health issues. For instance, relatives or neighbors sometimes contact her when they’re confused about how to take a medicine or whether two medicines can be taken together. Of course, she always knows when something is beyond simple advice and needs to be checked by a doctor. What I really appreciate about her is that she’s very patient when explaining health information. She doesn’t just give a short answer, she tries to explain things in simple language so people can understand them properly. On top of that, she often helps relatives in our hometown without expecting anything in return. I personally seen her do this many times, which is why I know how much effort she put into helping people. So she definitely someone I look up to and I hope she can continue helping people with her knowledge in the future.
