I bet it wasn't the pharmacist, it was the boy who was his assistant named George Bailey.

Whomever it was did a real service for his neighbor.

This couldn’t be totally rare could it?
There must be plenty of medicines that are like picking up a bottle of Oxygen, the kind of thing that would make a pharmacist wonder pretty quickly why it suddenly wasn’t needed.

Under ACA, many people will only be able to see their pharmacist.

Pharmacy employee John Robertson is being hailed as a hero...A hero? Really?

I think it’s a pretty heads up play. Good job pharmacy guy.

I agree it’s good news, but it must happen occasionally.

For years, before I finally started using the VA, I depended on Pharmacists for medical advice and solutions, and when traveling, sometimes still do if it is an emergency.
They will even recommend over the counter combinations, if needed.

Another reason to #1 pick a good pharmacy and stick with it. #2 Be EXTREMELY NICE to the employees.
It’s amazing the way people treat service employees. As if their absurdly rude behavior will get them better service?

Pharmacists know more about medications than most doctors. pharmacists are now required to have a doctorate degree, anyway.

In this day and age he’ll probably be fired for interfering in the person’s private life. Hero he may be, but not in the PC world we live in today.

It was my job to call in prescriptions. The chain stores are so incredibility overwhelmed they can’t possibly keep up with all of their customers. This was in a small town too. So I prefer to use small independent pharmacies. I have to pay in full for my meds, but I don’t require much. Totally worth it to me. I have a friend who’s father ran a small independent pharmacy. He knew all his customers, especially the elderly ones. Knew what insulin all his diabetic customers took, knew when they might be running low. My friend worked after school delivering to his customers. You don’t hear too much about home delivery anymore.

Thank you for posting - as a pharmacy student studying for finals, I needed this.

Slings! Really? So doing kitty pings is just a part time job for you?
:->
Well, kitties do help keep things in proper perspective. I hope all goes well on the finals.
