PharmD pricks in action.
They are used to controlling doctors in hospitals.
This is where they can get sued big time if a patient dies and they blocked that patient’s doctor from writing this rx for the patient.
I am a Texas Pharmacist now retired post two years. I know exactly what “OFF LICENSE” prescribing is. Many drugs have approved indications when they were first licensed. The drug companies spent much money on the research and licensing of these drugs. Once the patent has expired it becomes generic and is of little value to the original innovator.
Thus is the great imputes for “new drugs” to combat this corona virus when perhaps we have drugs today that can.
As a pharmacist I have great respect for those in research in our great pharmaceutical companies. They have alleviated much suffering in the world and to be admired. They have saved untold millions of lives.
What worry’s me is do the governing heads of those great companies share the same vision as their most excellent researchers, docs, chemists, research pharmacists and even Mr. Sam or be his name Jose. I would rather trust the wisdom of Sam and Jose.
ps
I am educated in the extreme. I trust Sam and Jose. I do not trust the head of Microsoft Mr. Bill Gates.
