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

... do you know how computers work?

It would require checks notes the same amount of processing power as like a low end computer tops. They landed on the moon with a calculator, I think a phone can read some lists

Your headache pill bad for fetuses. You can grow fetuses. Therefore you can't have headache pill. Problem solved by good computer. What, complaint? Computer no take complaint, appeal to bean counter, receive reply in six months.

With headache. Hope you don't take that drug for epilepsy like some do!

A human could determine if you're pregnant or not the same way they already do, and the machine could just have access to it. If it's something you're not supposed to take If you can get pregnant, then a human doctor shouldn't give you it either.

Would also have to make the program perfect. Lots of false flags needing manual review or missed flags meaning lawsuits.

False flags or missed flags would not occur if it follows whatever rules doctors do. A doctor doesn't have to determine if it's a stoplight or stop sign. The determination for whether or not medications conflict is a set of variables that are few enough to be programmed with as much relative ease as any other program

Sure they could. Would need diplomas from accredited schools, licensure in whatever states they are remotely working in. Maybe someday, would take a long time to change probably.

You do realize that if enough places have the machines from the same company then that's not really a problem. This system only works if enough places have the same machine
