Chemists Assistant

[runmerry]

Hi Eric,
I watched that but I didn't know it was available on DVD, pity my birthday is so long away and Christmas is past.
When I started working in a pharmacy we still had one doctor who prescribed sachets and it was a case of all hands on deck folding and packing them.
The pharmacist I worked for had a pill machine like the one in the series and made up some sugar paste to let us try it, not an easy thing to use, chemists assistants must have quite skilled in those days.
About the only skill left is making up ointments and creams but even that is mostly farmed out to specialist companys now because of the cost of the ingredients.

Regards
Jenny
