Reply to comment by HobbitFoot in Walgreens will stop judging its pharmacy staff by how fast they work by AaronDotCom

Plus the incentive to go faster may mean the pharmacist might make mistakes. Mistakes are the last thing you want to have happen when a patient’s health is on the line. Period.

Don't worry. Walgreens has a plan for that. They immediately turn it over to an insurance company to fight for them. The insurance company will quickly tell you that taking the wrong or too much of a medication for a week isn't a big deal. Problem solved.

Fucking insurance companies. Of course they’d have their dirty hands in this too.

The older I get, the more I think that capitalism and insurance are a terrible mix.

Insurance is capitalisms natural progression. Not saying there shouldn't just be stuff like healthcare for all. But mediocre costing care, for high monthly rates, and the ability to legally drain your opponent in court when they will never have the resources to fight you sounds like easy profit. Why wouldn't insurance be as scummy as it is.

Its not the making of a mistake you should be worried about, that doesn’t happen often… it’s not finding the mistakes that should worry you.

A pharmacist’s chief role is to find the mistakes, prevent the errors from getting do you.

If doctors where perfect, it wouldn’t be necessary to have a pharmacist.
