I feel bad for Walgreen/CVS pharmacist. Pharmacist don’t just count pills and put them in the bottle. In a hospital setting they tell the doctor how to deliver treatment on difficult cases because the pharmacist knows more about chemistry than the doctor.

In CVS it’s explaining that the doctor didn’t call in the script yet

If a pharmacist is good, they both have to explain to the patient that it isn’t in yet, and have time to speak to a doctor about proper alternatives that won’t kill the patient due to a drug interaction. But when I was at Walgreens, you didn’t have time to breathe much less call a doctor to explain failing a proper titration schedule on a medication can cause kidney failure, mind blips, extreme narcolepsy, or rash.
