Yet, I must say as the pharmacist is pulled in every way nowadays, there is a heightened chance of error. I have heard the pharmacist must help guests on the floor, fill prescriptions, and ring the register..while filling your rx!!! So please be patient, we are working to decrease the demand on our profession, but check your medication before leaving!!

see now, that is where I fail ... most of us are all in a rush when picking up meds for a sick person (or even routinely when shopping) ... my pharmacy gives me the page to sign and i do, without thinking I need the consult ... how foolish is that? I have now learned another lesson. thanks to Melot madness ...
