Another day at Integrated Pain Solutions in Southern Pines. We started the day off by reviewing our notes from yesterday. We all enjoyed getting to draw the structures (as shown by JR’s thumbs up). A highlight of the day was watching the formulation process for making balms and other serums. From precisely measuring out each ingredient to pipetting each extract, the balms were perfectly made so they will be effective in mitigating pain for patients. After, we discussed why each ingredient is added and how it contributes to the overall effect of the balm. We enjoyed learning not just about the balm process, but about future career paths and collegiate studies from Ryan. In addition, we spent lots of time researching different types of pain killers and drugs to understand how the urine analysis works on site. The structures all had very unique shapes and lots of benzene groups!
