I have a friend who is a doctor and the pharmacist screamed at her and said she doesn't have a medical license. (She does.) And was also arguing with her about the studies on this drug.
Another one screamed at the patient that the prescription was a party drug and it's illegal. (There is some use of this as a party drug, but it was being prescribed in a form and for the purpose the FDA had recently approved it for.)
I agree, the FDA is often wrong, but how can we have a system is the pharmacist is making these decisions on their own?
the pharmacist is practicing medicine without a license.
an age old law honored more in the breach...
Chaos ensues in the world when the government ceases prosecuting the laws on the books
