"Your job is to dispense medicines as prescribed by a doctor."

This is not a pharmacist's job.

A pharmacist always has the discretion not to dispense a drug.

Doctor's only get a fraction of the pharmacology in medical school that pharmacists get in pharmacy school and often prescribe the wrong drug or drugs which could lead to deadly interactions.

My wife is a pharmacist and has caught many errors that could have killed patients.

You wouldn't want your Viagra interacting with your heart medication would you?

I wouldn't know since I take neither, however, thanks for the tip. It's nice to be able to talk to people who have had these experiences. Why I love FR. Thanks again. Hope your heart prob is not serious!
