CHL

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the pharmacy with my son to pick up some odds and ends. My son also had to pick up a prescription.

The first words out of the pharmacist's mouth was, "I'm going to have to call your doctor because I feel that this is too high of a dosage for you."

I then intervened and asked, "Since when did you receive your doctorate?"

I have no problem with any pharmacist contacting a doctor to confirm a script. Today, it seems as though they think they are the doctor.

Please just do your jobs and fill what you see and stop trying to make yourself something you are not.

I understand that there may be some interns working in pharmacies learning the ropes, but that does not give you the right to say what's too strong for someone else, and this practice has become more widespread.
