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.
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.
A pharmacist may challenge the script holder and turn away people if they are not satisfied.
Neither of us being witness to the "event", I can only tell what I learned at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy & Science... and decades in the field.
I caution against assuming the worst about a professional who may have questioned someone in disguise, trying to purchase regulated medications.
