I am here trying to fuse the little knowledge I gathered during the five years I studied pharmacy with the ten years I have spent practising it.
I want to write about what my eyes see every day.
Not just the medicines on the shelves, but the people who come looking for them. The fears they carry. The questions they are sometimes afraid to ask. The stories they have heard from friends, neighbours, social media and generations before them.
I want to put science on one side, the fiction people have created on the other, and then stand somewhere in between and tell the story of what actually happens.
Because in pharmacy, I have learned that there is often a great distance between what is scientifically proven, what people believe, and what reality looks like.
These will be actual stories. Stories from behind the counter. Stories about medicine, people, belief, fear, hope, mistakes, miracles we cannot always explain, and the ordinary realities of healthcare.
I am not writing as someone who knows everything.
I am writing as someone who has spent five years learning the science and ten years watching human beings interact with it.
This is what my eyes see.
This is what science says.
This is what people believe.
And somewhere between the three lies the reality.
