Really?

There is currently a student on site who had the great opportunity for village travel (as if Bethel wasn't remote enough). Now granted this student could generate a whole soap opera in what I've overheard so far, but thats too much for this space. Let's sum it in that she is in her final year at a very recently accredited school and on her first practical pharmacy experiece rotation. And she really wants to come back and work up here. Overall she's very pleasant to work with but I feel there are some delusions still left behind in her mind despite being in the bush country of Alaska for awhile now. As she was getting prepped for said village travel she was informed that it was a nice coastal village of ~500 people. She was then informed to pack a lunch to which she responded- "Oh what about a restaurant, I'd really like to eat at a restaurant". Needless to say there is no restaurant in said village and if you're lucky the store in town might have some spam and lard on the shelves but that is as exciting as it gets. Welcome to the real bush country of Alaska.
