"A pharmacist working for another is required to fill all legal prescriptions given them."

WRONG. Just as a physician is not required to accept any patient who presents to him. A Pharmacist is a professional in practice, who has the right to use judgment. He is not the slave or servant of the patient.

You remind me of several patients I have had over the years who informed me that they had a "right" to a particular treatment or medicine. In each one of these instances, the only "right" they ended up exercising was to choose another practitioner. Permanently.

A pharmacist working for another party as appears to be the case here can fill the prescriptions presented of be subject to firing. One working for himself is not. A physician working for another has the same options.

Those employed by others do not have the freedoms those working for themselves do.

Interesting that you do care for the self-proclaimed "rights" of the patients but support those of this pharmacist. Looks like some "rights" are more equal than others.
