Yeah, my thoughts exactly. After checking out the website (which I
could swear I've seen before, but anyways) I left the following
comment regarding his thoughts on people with fibromyalgia which I
thought I'd post here too since my post on the website is uh, "pending
approval." And here it is:



"I totally agree with your post about fibromyalgia being a bogus
diagnosis, and that doctors diagnose this "condition" when they have
no idea what is causing the patient's pain."

 "However, I feel the need to remind you and other readers of this
website, blog, whatever to realize that pharmacists are NOT doctors,
they have nowhere near the education level needed to be a doctor, and
they are NOT qualified to hand out medical advice neither at work nor
the internet. It is the pharmacist's job to dispense the medications
ordered by the physician, nothing more, nothing less. It is the
doctor's ass on the line, not yours. You are merely doing your job."

 "Obviously, if there is an obvious error or a question regarding
dosage or frequency, then a call should be made to the doctor's office
to verify the prescription. Other than that, it is not your job to try
and diagnose patients from behind your retail sales cash register."

 "I think that maybe some of my opinion on this matter might center
around some of the news stories I have read regarding some pharmacists
decisions to not sell the "morning after" pill, which personally
offends me. It is not my pharmacist's job to push his/her religious
beliefs on anyone seeking a legal drug, no matter what it is or what
it is used for. In my opinion, if a pharmacist refuses and/or tries to
impede my access to a certain drug based on their beliefs then they
are in the wrong profession and need to find a new one STAT."

So yeah, he needs to find a new line of work.
