"all a modern pharmacy needs are men and women who can count to a hundred" I hope your pharmacists overlooks that remark when your doctors prescribe drugs that, when taken in combination, will kill you.
Technically speaking the pharmacists are more correctly referred to as "medical" than the modern physician. After all, those guys' trade arose out of the practice of cutting hair.
I think some people believe prescribing a medicine is more important than making sure the patient doesn't die from it though.
