Hello Jeff,
whatever you may think about the posts in response to your own but they all seem to be saying 'look at the common sense approach any pharmacist should have in this sort of situation'.

What you have referred to is another incident totally out of sync with the one it started from. We all make mistakes and if you haven't then you are a better pharmacist than i but we just hope that the mistakes we make are rectifiable and don't cause any harm to the patient. Knowing all this you only have to look at the disparity of the treatment by the Stat Comm against any pharmacist,who after all is human, against all the good he may have done in the past. That service is forgotten and they need to be seen to be making an example so as to serve the public. You cannot, and have not, justified to me why we should go to such extremes to satisfy every whim and fancy a client may have just based on the size of a tablet.

You forget, pharmacy is still a business at the end of the day. Would it then make sense to supply branded medicine just because the patient has always in the past had branded but for which you only get paid generic prices? It wouldn't be long before you were out of business.
