Let's talk about visiting a pharmacy, especially when you're travelling in another country. I'm curious about your own experiences and ideas here.

“Have you ever needed to buy medicine while travelling abroad? How did it go?”

“In your opinion, what's the hardest part about explaining your symptoms to a pharmacist in a foreign language?”

“Imagine you run out of an important medication in another country. What would you do first?”

“Would you rather see a doctor for a consultation or just ask a pharmacist for advice? Why?”

“How do you usually keep track of the correct dosage when you take medicine?”

Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all

Real or Fake?

Listen to each surprising statement and guess if it is real or fake. Explain your thinking first.

In some countries, pharmacists can diagnose minor conditions and suggest treatment without a doctor.

Justify your guess before you check.
