Hilde Hall says she went straight from her doctor's office in April to a CVS pharmacy in her Phoenix suburb, eager to fill her first hormone therapy prescription.

The treatment would spur the physical changes in Hall's body that would reflect her identity as a transgender woman, she said.

Uh oh, the pharmacist is headed to prison for that hate crime.

“We only have the customers side of the story here.”

And we have CVS’s side of the story.

“I felt...”

Tells you all you need to know.

You are not familiar with CVS apparently.

Not one of ours has any “privacy”. In fact, they don’t have any protective plexiglass at all.

Our prime place has a “consultation” desk & a “drop-off” which has higher sides than the very open cashier area, but no “cone of silence”.

Nor have I ever experienced one that “private”. Including the small local I used all my life down the road until they shut down.

The closest to your vision I think is RiteAid. They usually at least have plexiglass all over.

Just on my soapbox about that item. Otherwise, on with your arguments!

The opinion amongst professional colleagues is that CVS is a shit-hole to work for. I can't tell you the number of 'retail refugees' I've met that have switched from retail to hospital practice.

Mainly they come from big retail outfits like CVS or RiteAid. A coworker of mine dropped his keys on the manager's desk one Saturday, did an about face and walked out.

Some advice for the fired pharmacist: go find employment with a religiously affiliated hospital or get your own store going.

"A pharmacist must question/challenge a situation they find suspicious or wrong."

Do you really think that a pharmacist is going to alter a prescription based on a question asked of the patient?

The prescribing physician has their name and telephone number listed on the prescription. Any questions about the prescription should have been addressed to the prescribing physician, not yelled out to the customer in the waiting area, and there should never have been an attempt by the pharmacist to have the patient explain or justify the medical situation.

This entire situation should have been handled between the pharmacist and the physician.

“He” might be concerned why “he/she” is getting a female thing for a male patient.

All this absurd crap is putting doctors and pharmacists in really bad positions.

Is it ethical (i.e., healthy, as opposed to harmful to HEALTH, never mind psych questions) to put a pharmacist in this position? In his mind, this may be physically harmful to a “man”. And he’d probably be right, but PC is all-important these days.

Gee, I was considering switching to CVS from Walgreens. Guess not.

IMHO, any doctor who prescribes ‘gender transformation’ drugs is violating the Hippocratic Oath: Do no harm.

Of course we all know gender cannot be transformed. God decided your gender at the moment you were conceived and gave you the appropriate DNA.

Folks who consider themselves transgender are just fooling themselves and begging for approval by the public. No one can change their DNA.

1. Count the pills.
2. Put the correct number of pills in a bottle.
3. Place label on bottle.
4. Give bottle to customer
5 Repete

It’s an easy gig.

"He just kept asking, loudly and in front of other CVS staff and customers, why I was given the prescriptions," she said. "Embarrassed and distressed, I nearly started crying in the middle of the store," she wrote. "I didn't want to answer why I had been prescribed this hormone therapy combination by my doctor. I felt like the pharmacist was trying to out me as transgender in front of strangers. I just froze and worked on holding back the tears."

Sometimes embarrassment is your subconscious saying you are making a huge mistake.

It’s really not any of the pharmacists business if the guy’s trying to be a girl. He has his job to do and he’s paid to fill that legal prescription.

Horse-pucky. The pharmacist is another line of defense catching errors. Doctors do make mistakes. Pharmacists do catch them. It's a professional symbiosis that should not be diminished cuz "feelings". And the rest of us don't want to pay the financial penalty (increased drug prices) that would result from pharmacists being required to privately consult in secure office space with patients having questions and concerns. Compassion and kindness do not replace common sense.

This will, eventually, be stopped by lawsuits from the survivors of people abused in this way who commit suicide.

You forgot, “collect payment”.

The #1 callback on prescriptions (and nothing else is even close) is, “my insurance won’t pay for it and the pharmacist won’t give it to me”.

I mean, this is an epic violation of the Hippocratic Oath, “First, do no harm...” Any doctor that would prescribe or perform surgery to mutilate the genitals of a patient (no matter how they “feel”) should not only be stripped of their license to practice medicine, they should go to prison.

The fact that the medical profession has been aiding this insanity (along with the political/peer pressure decision in 1973 to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, but not based on sound science — there goes the claim that Republicans don’t believe in science) shows there needs to be a serious reevaluation of the entire profession by responsible individuals.

In this case i’m on the side of this CVS Customer. It’s really not any of the pharmacists business if the guy’s trying to be a girl. He has his job to do and he’s paid to fill that legal prescription.

I agree with that, and I have no issue with what you said. My problem is with the PC culture that says cross dressing and taking hormones changes (TRANSforms) gender. It's a man that dresses like a woman and takes female hormones. I don't challenge people's liberty to dress and act the way the way they want, but I will not be forced into the ridiculous view that people can change genders. People can change their wardrobe, people can change their name. People can not change their chromosomes.

I also agree with you about being nice to people, gender dysphoria (GD), or gender identity disorder (GID) is a terrible and sad disorder.
