[Dr. Sivana]

They are the waiters of the medical profession, and if the doctor orders it, they need to bring it to the table or find another job.

That is a ridiculous analogy. Is the doctor analogous to the cook, or the customer? If the doctor is the cook, he is a co-worker, like the waiter, not a superior. The doctor does not own the restaurant (pharmacy). If the pharmacist is the "customer," the pharmacist (waiter) can simply say, we don't serve ham and cheese here at "Kosher Hut" (a real restaurant in New York).

Good pharmacists are a protection against bad doctors the way good jurors are a protection against bad judges.

Good pharmacists are also a protection against good doctors, sometimes. Thank goodness, I’ve received a few of those “Are you sure about this”? phone calls.
