emily was cured of her cancer. the tragedy was that she was receiving her very last treatment when this overdose occured. she conquered cancer but could not overcome the breathtaking negligence of the medical profession. Cathy Horton

YES & AMEN TO mottigga. We call them "counter pounders", and they are usually over the age of 65. I am new in this industry and my eyes have been opened to the absolute inconsiderate behavior of people...I have worked in retail my entire life. Never have i seen anything like a retail pharmacy. Anyone in this profession, MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU...You give alot for very little respect.

After interning in a community chain pharmacy during pharmacy school, I can say that when an error happens, it's likely due to stress and demands of asshole patients who think that transferring pills from one bottle to another is the whole job. I've never seen anything to beat it.. people slamming the counter and cussing that they want it NOW and for nothing, while I'm trying to teach them about a drug that may kill them. I counsel ALL patients, so prepare to wait as long as it takes.
