| Topic | Pharmacists say industry in crisis puts patient safety at risk |
| WrkHrdPlayHrdr 07/08/21 8:11:49 AM #3: | I'm skimming the article but I have a few things I've noticed: 1) They talk about Pharmacists giving immunizations. I'm pretty sure it was the Pharmacies that started doing that themselves and then said "hey we should be able to bill insurance for this". So they did it to make more money I think. 2) They say this: A pharmacist's job is far more than putting pills in bottles. Then also they say this: The person who actually hands you your filled prescription at the counter may be a technician, not a pharmacist. Technicians are support staffers who run the cash register; fill, count and bag prescriptions; and unload inventory. I know pharmacists have to know a lot of drug interactions and stuff, but why are we paying them insane amounts of money if we are just turning around and having a cashier fill the actual bottles. That struck me as odd. As a side note: I'm not saying your job is tough or not or underpaid or anything.... just some interesting things I found in the article. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://imgur.com/cSxy3Od ...
