I spent the better part of an hour making an absolutely beautiful compound of Aquaphor, Triamcinolone, and Urea crystals all by myself, and yet all I was congratulated for today by the pharmacist was finding the source of the funky smell that had overtaken the pharmacy (it was the garbage--I had forgotten that I had emptied the unidentifiable contents of the staff refrigerator straight into the garbage can earlier that morning).
This compound was freaking beautiful! 480 grams of creamy splendor! I even finished off the top of the ointment jar in a beautiful damn design that looked like it was frosting on a cake!
Yet finding the origin of the smell was my crowning achievement today.
Although the smell was pretty funky.
Anyway, my hard work is probably being slathered inappreciatively on someone's ass cheeks right now.

that's so funny!! haha
I had to make a pound of camphor, menthol, triamcin 50:50 cream/oint on one of my first rotation days as an intern...and everyone complained about the smell I was making. I wanted to say "then YOU do it yourself, and YOU have the stench of this in your nose for the next week!" But, since I was the intern and apparently was there to be abused, I kept my mouth shut. The younger pharmacist said to me, "Make sure you crush those crystals well so the product isn't gritty." Camphor+menthol=eutectic mixture. My product rocked (but stank), and I'm sure that yours was completely lovely and worthy of the cover of the APhA journal. Welcome to the blogosphere.
