WalMart tried to pass of a menopause drug that started with an "A" as my father's Aricept. Hurried pharmacists need to chill out a bit.

I ended up getting "sorry" calls all the way from Bentonville, Arkansas on that one.

Costco tripled the proper dose of a prescription I was taking. I started feeling very ill over a period of a couple of weeks. Finally I knew something must be wrong and looked up the proper dose myself on the Internet.

I suppose I could have made a much bigger deal out of it but all I ended up asking for was a few months of free medicine which was not expensive anyway. They blamed it on the doctor's handwriting. I noticed the pharmacist's hands were shaking as she spoke with me.

Have you noticed these pharmacies now employ a pharmacist and several pharmacist ‘technicians’.

The techs fill the orders and the pharmacist signs off on them.

I’m curious as to the schooling required to be a ‘technician’. I suspect not much.
