A 19-year-old pharmacy technician, with little training, misfiled the prescription, according to court documents.

I don't understand the role of the 'pharmacy technician'. Other than filling Rx at a cut rate salary.
If we don't need trained pharmacists to fill prescriptions why have them at all?
Any trained pharmacist would have caught this mistake.

That said, I think the award is over the top.

That’s what I don’t understand about this. I understand the techs fill some of these but I thought the pharmacist always checked them before they went to the customer.
