Simple question. But unfortunately a whole bunch of zealous miscreants have chosen to transform the thread into some kind of Chautauqua Tent meeting.
He should have given her the prescription back the moment he told her he wouldn't fill it. Until he processed it, it was her possession, not the pharmacist's.
My point is, he is under no obligation to fill the prescription. If he is violating a corporate policy by refusing to fill the prescription that is between him and CVS.
People seem to think that the person presenting the prescription is ENTITLED to have it filled where ever and when ever. I asked a co-worker her opinion. She said "Well the pharmacist HAS TO fill it, it came from a doctor". Um, no.
If CVS has a policy not to provide abortifacient drugs (or other controversial drugs), is it your position that they should be forced to do so? I think this is the bottom line... whether it be a corporation or a small pharmacy.
