I haven't written an essay in a while and I was wondering if you guys can help me proofread my essay.
I wrote this essay in half an hour so expect to find a few grammar and spelling mistakes!
Topic: Propose a solution to the increasing number of patient drug overdose.
Drug overdose, whether accidental or planned, is an epidemic that can cause serious bodily harm and even death. In order to reduce the chances of drug overdose by patients, a two tier plan must be implemented. The first tier would deal with accidental overdose, which is the result of poor communication between the pharmacist and his patient.. The second tier would employ measures to counteract drug abuse by patients via counseling. Both these plans involve radical changes in patient-pharmacist interaction.
Even though drug overdose is widespread, it can be broken down into two categories: accidental or planned. Accidental drug overdose is caused when patients unkowningly take excess amounts of a drug, resulting in serious physiological complications. In order to reduce the frequency of such incidents, more emphasis should be put on patient-pharmacist communication. If each pharmacist spends atleast five minutes with a customer aquiring about a certain drug, chances of a patient having an overdose are minimal. In order for such a plan to work, more pharmacist should be employed at each commercial store, ensuring that each patient gets enough time with the pharmacist.
Secondly, there are those who abuse drugs in order to reach a state of euphoria but end up harming themselves. In this case, pharmacist should be trained to identify potential drug abusers and single them out for counseling. The employment of more pharmacist per store will ensure that most abuser are spotted.
One potential drawback to the proposed two-tier solution is that it requires a higher number of employees in each store, thus draining the financial resources of that store. However, since pharmacist are part of the health-care team and would be required to provide counseling to patients, the government can employ one additional pharmacist in each store who would be available for free counseling sessions and paid for by OHIP.
The two-tier solution may seem like a huge drain on government resources, but nevertheless it is a vital tool in reducing drug overdose. Preventing drug overdose would help reduce the strain on the hospitals that care for patients who suffered from it.
Please mark it as though you were marking an MCAT essay.
