In The Sun But Not Very Bright 
Canada, Health & Body, Ontario, Patients, Pharmacy, Stupid | Healthy | October 1, 2018 
(I’m a pharmacist. I’m counselling a client on how to apply the rosacea cream his doctor has prescribed for him.) 
 
Me: “…and remember, even if you use this regularly, the most important way to prevent rosacea flares is to stay out of the sun.” 
 
Patient: “I’m in the sun all the time!” 
 
Me: “May I suggest sunscreen?” 
 
Patient: “Oh, no, I don’t wear sunscreen. I don’t want to put chemicals on my face.” 
 
(I looked at the box of expensive prescription face chemicals and died a little inside.)
